What Is An MRI?
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. An MRI offers a safe and efficient method for medical diagnosis of many conditions, using a very strong superconducting electro-magnet instead of x-rays. A "receiver coil" device is placed around the part of the body to be scanned. The coil acts as an antenna, directing focused radio energy to that area. You will hear a loud knocking, or tapping sound during the scan. This is a byproduct of the scan process. Earplugs are available, and we will provide an assortment of music to help you relax. You are also welcome to bring your own CD or cassette! There is a intercom system between you and the technologist. You will be asked to lie down on the scanning table, usually on your back. We will make you comfortable with the aid of pillows, blankets and sponges. You will be asked to lie still for approximately 30-45 minutes.

What Does An MRI Show?
In many cases, MRI can lead to early detection and treatment of disease without surgery or biopsy. It is a noninvasive method of examining the soft tissue of the body including organs, muscles and tendons.

Continuity of Care Between SRC and the Salem Hospital
When you have a scan at Salem Radiology Consultants you can feel confident knowing that the physician radiologist who interpreted your scan will also have the opportunity to read any follow-up studies that may be performed at the Salem Hospital. Having a physician radiologist who is already familiar with your medical and radiologic history can be a tremendous benefit in the continuity of your care.
Because of the relationship that exists between the Salem Hospital and SRC, a private and secure fiber optic network connects both facilities so that your radiology information can be quickly and conveniently transferred between facilities, literally at the speed of light. This connection and type of medical information exchange is unique to SRC and the Salem Hospital and is not offered by any other outpatient imaging facilities in the region.
Because studies performed at either the Salem Hospital or SRC can be retrieved and viewed from either site in a matter of seconds, we always have quick and convenient access to your previous imaging studies that we can use to compare with your new studies to determine if any changes have occurred over time.
By not having to wait for a traditional film based copy of your studies from another facility we can quickly provide you and your doctor with answers that will lead to treatment options that will put you on a path to better health.
