Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a combination of radiofrequency waves (RF) and a strong magnetic field that interact with hydrogen atoms in the body to produce high-quality and detailed images of the internal organs, bones, blood vessels, and tissues.

These 3-D images allow the Radiologist to detect abnormalities, diseases, and injuries such as muscle or tendon tears. All this is done with no exposure to radiation.

Here at Synergy MRI, we use a GE MRI Signa HDXt 1.5T – Software 29.1 with a short bore.

Synergy MRI is an accredited facility by the American College of Radiology. Accreditation is only awarded to those facilities that meet or exceed the quality and safety standards of the American College of Radiology.

Our breadth of experience, specialized know-how, state-of-the-art equipment, and integration with the Synergy Orthopedic Specialists make our facility one of a kind.
