What’s an Open MRI?
MRI is a method of getting images of various parts of your body without the use of ionizing radiation, unlike regular x-rays or a CT scan.
Open MRI Details:
- EXTREMELY LARGE OPENING
- Allows the greatest comfort
- Able to accommodate larger patients
- Room has large windows that provide beautiful & relaxing natural light
- Bring your family member or a companion
- Scan time 20-30 min
A MRI utilizes powerful magnets and radio waves to generate images from the hydrogen protons in your body. Unlike radio-graphs (X-Rays) or CT scans, MRI’s are safe with no concern of radiation exposure. In MRI images of all body parts can be obtained in any plane versus regular x-ray or CT that obtain an image in only one plane. Typical imaging planes include:
Axial Image – head to foot or foot to head 
Coronal Image – front to back or back to front 
Sagittal Image – left to right or right to left 
Our practice is modern, fast, affordable, and reliable. we focus our diagnostic ultrasound imaging expertise and results driven focus to conduct ultrasound diagnosis that then can lead to specialist or physician treatment(s) in Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and surrounding Santa Clara and Bay Area regions (we only offer diagnostic screening and assessment devices, not treatment). Diagnostic Ultrasound is a service applied by trained ultrasound technicians, when visiting Sunnyvale Imaging Center the digital images will be interpreted by a trained radiologist.
Our trustworthy industry standard unit, is a high frequency machine that reduces the exposure for a patient having a similar X-ray’s at a different facility. We have now gone one step further and have added the digital component. This allows us to produce an image in less than 60 seconds & those images are received by our radiologist within 90 seconds. Digital X-ray also allows us to manipulate an image, zoom, turn, and make it the best image possible for a precise diagnosis. Sunnyvale Imaging Center and our digital x-ray unit serves area physicians by giving them the best quality, in the least amount of time, combined with the best customer service. Your patients will benefit from the quick service and the low amount of exposure. Let us know how we can help you!
Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) allow us to test negatively impacting nerves, muscles, neuromuscular junction and motor neuron functionality. Electromyography (EMG) measures how muscles respond to brain signals. NCS is a process that measures speed and strength of neural electrical activity. Mainly we are looking to test if there may be nerve damage.
