New MRI Technology Coming To Southbury Clinic

Information via Waterbury HEALTH

SOUTHBURY, CT – Waterbury HEALTH and Diagnostic Radiology Associates have teamed up to bring the latest technology in open MRI to Southbury.

The ground-breaking Oasis Velocity Open MRI provides the latest technology and highest imaging quality in less time with the comfort of a wide-open design. Currently, this is the only MRI of its kind in New England and the second one in the country.

“Historically, open MRI systems have had a reputation for limited image quality, because of the low magnetic field, producing decreased image resolution and longer exam times, resulting in patient discomfort and motion artifact. Our new Oasis Velocity Open MRI avoids both pitfalls in having a 1.2 Tesla magnet, nearly the strength of the standard high field systems, and very rapid imaging times. These advantages are coupled with the open architecture of the magnet, resulting in a comfortable and non-stressful patient experience, yielding unsurpassed image quality,” said Dr. Kenneth Allen, radiologist with DRA and Waterbury Hospital.
