MRI - MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

Advanced Imaging has a Siemens Avanto 1.5 Tesla MRI system with 18 channels.. This machine is state of the art and there is no better 1.5 T machine in existence. The Avanto is the latest generation MRI system, made in Germany. Most MRI machines equivalent to ours are used for high-end research at major universities. At Advanced Imaging we think our patients deserve the same high level of care right here at home.

Parallel Imaging with 18 receiver channels for improved image quality and unmatched speed Total Imaging Matrix (TIM) allows linking of multiple surface coils for improved resolution and faster speed.

Whole Body Capability

Short Bore for reduced claustrophobia

Feet First Exams for reduced claustrophobia and greater flexibility

Much Quieter gradients for greater patient comfort.!

CT - COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

SPEED = QUALITY

Our new CT scanner, the Siemens Sensation 64 Cardiac with Straton Tube, has the fastest rotation time of any 64 slice scanner made and is faster than any competing scanner in Wisconsin. This scanner is state of the art and is used at major universities and world class medical centers like the Mayo Clinic. .Rotation time is like the 0-60 time on a sports car, the lower the number the better, if you want to go fast. Quality CT diagnosis is all about speed.

Our scanner has a rotation time of .330 seconds and 64 slices per rotation. The scanner at our local hospital has a rotation time of .400 seconds and 16 slices per rotation.

Our scanner does 192 slices per second. Theirs does 40.Features Include:

Less radiation than comparable 16 and even 64 slice scanners

Higher z-resolution than comparable 16 slice scanners in routine use (0.60 mm vs 1.0mm)

Faster rotation speed means sharper images and less motion artifact on all studies.

Faster speed improves the quality of all CT angiography (carotid arteries, brain, aorta, renal and mesenteric arteries, extremities).

Faster speed allows smaller and safer contrast doses.
