In a recent article in Diagnostic Imaging, Karen Sandrick a freelance writer highlights the differences between1.5 and a 3.0 Tesla MRI machines.
According to Dr. Keith Thulborn, director of MR research at the University of Illinois at Chicago, routine brain imaging at 3 tesla can be done more efficiently than at 1.5 tesla. A standard 3–tesla MRI brain scan, including fast spin–echo, FLAIR, gradient–echo, and high–resolution pre– and postcontrast whole brain imaging, can be completed in 30 minutes and still leave time to turn the table around.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at Elite Imaging who made my visit such a positive experience. Everyone was kind, reassuring and efficient and we appreciated the great service and the way in which you went beyond the call of duty. Please give my kindest regards to everyone.
Thank you also for forwarding the results to my Doctor at University of Miami Hospital, Dr. Floriano Marchetti.
Dr. Gulec is a very delightful man and I am very glad for the opportunity to see him. I look forward to receiving his report. Needless to say I was overjoyed at his diagnosis.
Praise God for His mercy. May God bless you at all times.

I just wanted to thank you very, very much for the special VIP treatment you extended me during my visit. I really appreciated that you picked me up from the airport. That was really special! Both my doctors received the MRI report and hopefully I will soon be on the road to treatment and recovery. Thank you again for all your help and special attention.

I cant thank you enough for the excellent service the other day during my breast MRI. The technologist and his assistant were extremely nice and very sensitive to my anxiety. Thank you for your sincere caring.
