I’d never had an MRI before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but when I arrived for my appointment I couldn’t have been more pleased with the warm and friendly staff. They even offered me headphones and warm blankets to make sure I was comfortable. Their imaging machine was new and state-of-the-art and it produced an image so clear that the radiologist was able to give an immediate diagnosis—torn meniscus. NSI has my highest recommendation! Phil L., Orlando, FL [/db_pb_slide] Setting my appointment was quick and easy and the staff made me feel comfortable during my procedure. Christopher E., Lake Mary, FL [/db_pb_slide] The warm and friendly staff at NeuroSkeletal Imaging made me feel completely at ease during my MRI. I was nervous going into the office for the exam, but I left feeling like part of the family. George S., Orlando, FL [/db_pb_slide] I’ve had many MRI’s over the years due to a brain tumor. I don’t think anyone raises their hand and says, Hey, let’s go and get squeezed into this noisy, little tube, that sounds like a broken washing machine on steroids, and stay perfectly still for 35 minutes just for fun!”. No, it’s something you tolerate as part of your treatment plan. But, having a professional and friendly staff makes the experience a lot more pleasurable. I found NSI while I was searching for a modern, open type of MRI. I spoke with Dallas Pike in scheduling. In fact, it was that initial phone encounter that sold me on your services. (Good employees are hard to find these days - she’s a keeper.) She got me all set up, and on the day of the exam, everything went like clockwork. They were all very friendly and efficient, and made me feel very comfortable. I can see that NSI stays extremely busy, but even with the patient load, they still answer all your questions and make your comfort a priority. They get you in and out without wasted time, which is very nice. The 1.5T open MRI machine is a great improvement in comfort for those that can utilize it. Why be less comfortable if you don’t have to, right? I am very happy with my experience, and when I have to schedule my future, periodic, follow-up MRI’s, I’ll be coming to NSI again. Zimmerman, Orlando FL [/db_pb_slide] [/db_pb_slider] Frequently Asked Questions What is an MRI? An MRI is a machine that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a powerful computer to produce cross-sectional images of the body. No X-rays or other ionizing radiation is employed. MRI is the shortened form of magnetic resonance imaging. How does MRI work? To understand how an MRI works, let’s start by focusing on the magnetic” in an MRI. The major and most important component in an MRI system is the magnet. The magnet in an MRI system is rated using a unit of measure known as a tesla. MRI provides a magnificent view inside the human body. A large magnet surrounding the body causes the hydrogen nuclei (protons) in water molecules to align in a particular direction, and then radio waves strike the protons, causing them to spin out of alignment. When the radio signal is turned off, the protons return to their previous alignment, giving off new radio waves at the same time. The returning radio signals are received and analyzed by a computer, which then creates cross-sectional images of the body. When is MRI used? Like CT, MRI can be used to image almost any part of the body, although MRI produces pictures containing information that may not be seen on a CT scan. For some things, MRI is more useful than CT, and for some...
