Until recently, 3.0 tesla MRI technology was only found in research environments. Nationally, less than 12 percent of imaging centers, including university research facilities, offer such advanced imaging scanners.

The advanced technology of the Siemens Trio 3.0 tesla (3T) provides 3D imaging with sub-millimeter resolution for all regions of the body. The new scanner is especially useful in the examination of neurological disorders, vascular diseases and musculoskeletal related conditions.

While our 1.5T MRI scanners remain the gold standard in imaging, the 3T MRI has expanded our specialized diagnostic imaging capabilities and provides an invaluable tool for physicians in the diagnosis of complicated health issues.
