Pyramid MRI is located at 530 Lakehurst Rd, Suite 102 in the Pyramid Center. Our MRI machine is an open MRI. This type of imaging provides more comfort for many patients than a closed MRI. The machine will be closed to the part of the body it is scanning but the sides are open. Our MRI technician is there to help you complete the necessary tests that your physician has ordered. Pyramid MRI includes an on-staff radiologist to have your results to your doctor in a timely matter to come to a better understanding of your pain.
Your physician may order radiologic studies (pictures) to help identify and diagnose your pain. An MRI scan is one type of study. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI scans use a powerful magnet, radiowaves and a computer to produce an image that gives a clear, detailed image of the part of the body in question. The pictures produced provide valuable information for the physician about the structure of your joints, bones and soft tissue.
