Our MRI Facility is equipped with a SIGNA™ Premier 3.0T from GE Healthcare and supportive resources. This machine is a beneficial and robust resource enabling advancements in imaging for various initiatives, educational delivery methods and research projects.

With access to our MRI, CIAMI enables groundbreaking research and educational opportunities within neurological research including spectroscopy, fMRI, DTI, advanced cardiac research including vessel wall imaging and arterial spin labelling with breast imaging capabilities. While improving the patient experience with a 70 cm bore size, the SIGNA™ Premier magnet supports a large 50 cm FOV and may reduce exam time since fewer acquisitions are needed to cover a large anatomy.

Our facility is also equipped with:

GE Healthcare : MRI Audio Music System

The MRI Audio premium sound system is designed for comfort and allows the patient to listen to music while being scanned in an MRI. The technologist is in full control of the system headphones, microphone, sound source and volume controls. Standard 3.5 mm plug for music source allows any compatible music player, tablet or phone.
