Advanced Imaging Technology at Henrico Doctors' Hospital

3.0 TESLA MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

MRI's most innovative new technology, Tim (Total Imaging Matrix), has been combined with the amazing power of 3T. Now, what was only possible in research can be done daily in clinical practice. Henrico Doctors' Hospital's Imaging Department - Forest Campus has the capability to see what couldn't be seen and do things faster than they've ever been done before. Imagine: visualizing 0.4 mm cervical spine nerve roots, 3D abdominal imaging with sub-millimeter resolution and seeing the individual fibers of cranial nerves. With 3T, the extraordinary has become routine everyday at Henrico Doctors' Hospital – Forest campus.

CLINICAL BENEFITS
