The Latest Technology
There are many different types of scanners. They range from a conventional high field scanner to the newer "open" architecture scanners. KDC offers five different MRI scanners which enable us to flexibly schedule patients at their convenience. Four of our scanners are high field, high resolution scanners which produce the most superior image quality available in the industry.

When you are in a MRI scanner your body puts off a signal that is picked by our imaging coils. Generally speaking, the higher the field strength of the magnet, the higher the signal received by the imaging coils. The higher the signal, the better the image quality.

Magnets are categorized by the their field strength. Magnets of 1.0 Tesla or higher are considered high field magnets. Magnets between .5 Tesla and 1.0 Tesla are considered mid-field magnets. Magnets below .5 Tesla are considered low field, or open, magnets.
