MRI
Why Choose the Vancouver MRI Center?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides an unparallel view of internal organs and structures without using ionizing radiation. As a result, it's often the exam of choice. MRI can deliver superb contrast resolution and early detection of disease, with minimal risk to patients, including pediatric patients.
MRI services have been offered at Vancouver Neurologists since 2002. Our MRI technology complements the full-range of neurodiagnostic equipment that is integral to our practice. In MRI services, we maintain the same standards of diagnostic excellence that have made Vancouver Neurologists the area's experts in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders since 1980
