Houston MRI Scans

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) has become a valuable tool in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. This technology has proven useful in evaluating patients, especially those with damage in bones and joints.

MRI scans are able to reveal minute damage and changes to bone progression, which can help your physician adjust you treatment plan accordingly. This service can take up to 2 hours and should not interrupt your functionality afterwards.

It remains our priority to provide patients with the safest treatment and diagnostic options available. MRI scanning is a safe procedure. However, alert your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

• Claustrophobia
• Pacemaker
• IUD
• Moderate to severe lung disease
• Unable to lay still for up to an hour
• Metal implants, medical or superficial
• Hearing implant

Because we maintain a radiologist on staff, your results can be received and discussed with your physician in a timely manner. Your physician will work with you to determine if MRI scans will have long-term benefits for your situation.
