Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is an ultra-sophisticated imaging technique that uses an electromagnetic field and radio-frequency waves to produce extremely precise images of human body. The technology is especially effective in examining the brain, spinal column, abdomen, joints, and vessels.

OUR new magnetic resonance machine (MRI) is on the leading edge of technology.
Exceptional image quality for more precise diagnoses. A first in the greater Montreal metropolitan area.
