MRI Scan is the safest, radiation-free procedure using strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. At Abdi Waluyo, we use GE 3T MRI Signa Premier technology, which is the first of its kind in Asia. It provides high-quality and clearest images possible which is important in making an accurate diagnosis. It features the most extensive range of breakthrough imaging techniques from routine brain, spine, and orthopedic studies to specialized vascular and cardiac applications plus more sophisticated functional and spectroscopy exams.
- Twice the strength and image quality of 1.5 T MRI
- Images of amazing clarity and details of anatomy and pathology
- Diagnostic capabilities for assessment of conditions, including stroke, cancer and musculoskeletal disease
- It is ideal for everyone, including geriatric, pediatric, pregnant, and claustrophobic patients
