The MRI at Madison Memorial Hospital is a high-field strength system offering some of the quickest and clearest scans available in South Eastern Idaho. The high field strength provides much clearer pictures than the low field strength open units.

MRI uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to provide extremely precise pictures of body tissues such as the brain, spine, joints and even blood vessels. The magnets allow for early stroke diagnosis, which can increase the chances of recovery and decrease disability from stroke. The larger opening (70 cm) and the short length of the bore can help reduce significantly a patient’s anxiety or claustrophobia.

The design of the magnet also will accommodate larger patients.  Our patients are able to pick their music to listen to and the color of lights in the room to help them with ease of the exam. We have the ability to  do scans feet first or head first. All in all, this short bore design will make your visit more comfortable.

Madison Memorial Radiology is open 24 hours a day
