Magnetic Resonance Imaging -- MRI
The Sports Medicine Clinic offers one of the newest innovations in diagnostic imaging as part of its range of MRI services. The OrthoOne® Extremity MRI, offers an easy, non-claustrophobic, totally open environment for MRIs of hands, wrists, elbows, arms, legs, ankles, knees, feet and legs.
On average, 25% of MRI tests are for extremities and don’t require whole-body MRI. The OrthoOne, allows patients to sit comfortably in a reclining chair, while inserting only the affected part of the body into the machine for imaging.
The OrthoOne provides higher clarity and accuracy of images than other open MRI systems, without subjecting patients to a higher dose of radiation. It is much quieter than traditional MRI, with no loud pulses or noise, and is also quicker, with examination times averaging only 30 minutes.
Physician referral is required for an extremity MRI. To schedule an appointment, please call the North Seattle office of The Sports Medicine Clinic at 206-368-6100.
