Lourdes MRI Center - We're Open for Business

Never feel confined again! At Lourdes, we are using the Philips Panorama High Field Open MR scanner to give you a scanning experience like never before.

Boasting an almost 360 degree opening, children, adults, and anyone with claustrophobia can be scanned in comfort. And while you relax, your doctor gets the high quality images needed for a confident diagnosis.

Diagnostic imaging tests can sometimes be scary for your patients. Choose the minimally invasive MRI that your patients will feel best about—the Philips Intera Achieva 1.5T MR system. Patients will appreciate the quicker exams in a system designed to help them feel more comfortable and less claustrophobic.

You'll also appreciate the 1.5T's power and resolution, giving you access to the MR system for more applications than you may have considered before. The Intera Achieva 1.5T MR system is perfect for:

• General abdominal imaging
• High-resolution peripheral angiography

Image quality you’ve come to trust

Philips MR is known for outstanding image quality, and the Intera Achieva 1.5T MR system maintains that tradition. It allows our radiologists to identify potential problems and provide you—the referring physician—with more information for a more accurate diagnosis.

Faster scan times

The Intera Achieva 1.5T MR system offers one of the fastest scan times of any scanner on the market, through our unique patented SENSE technology, our high-speed broadband reconstructor and our Freedom technology.

Together, these enable some of the most advanced techniques possible and maximize both patient comfort and efficiency.

Patient comfort a priority

With the scanning speed of the Intera Achieva 1.5T MR system, most scans last only 15 to 40 minutes. The compact design makes it less intimidating in appearance, the color scheme reduces the feeling of claustrophobia, and most scans can be conducted with the head entirely outside of the opening.

Patient applications

With the Intera Achieva 1.5T MR system, you can diagnose many different anatomical and structural problems in the human body, using:

• Musculoskeletal imaging
• Neurological imaging
• Vascular system imaging
• Spectroscopy of the brain and internal organs
• Whole body imaging

The Lourdes MRI Center is conveniently located on the hospital campus (behind the main building) with a separate entrance and registration area.
