OWINGS MILLS, Md., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The new 3 Tesla (3T)
MRI unit at Advanced Radiology’s Owings
Mills Center has a magnetic force 60,000 times stronger than
the earth’s magnetic field. That power lets radiologists view tiny
problems in small joints, the brain, spine and abdomen – in greater
detail than ever before. Advanced Radiology also
offers a wide range of Open MRI and other MRI services in more than
20 radiology centers in Maryland.
When doctors need highly detailed, precise images to diagnose
your health problem, this magnet can help. Somewhat like a
high definition television that has more pixels for a sharper
image, the 3T MRI offers more pixels to provide a clearer image.
That can lead to a more definitive or earlier diagnosis.
3T MRI complements rather than replaces 1.5T MRI and high
strength Open MRI, which continue to be appropriate for most
imaging needs.
Located at 2 Park Center Court, off Reisterstown Rd., the new
Owings Mills Center also offers a 40 slice CT
scanner and digital X-ray. Highly specialized
radiologists staff the beautiful new imaging center. Medical
Director Robert
Van Besien, M.D., comments, “3T MRI can produce stunning, very
detailed images. That can translate to more precise,
definitive diagnoses.”
The Owings Mills center is a few miles from Pomona
Square, Advanced Radiology’s full service imaging facility in
Pikesville, which offers 1.5T MRI/MRA, Open MRI, multi-slice CT, PET/CT
