Our GE Medical Systems Signa Tesla Horizon MRI unit is used to diagnose a variety of medical conditions. In use since the early 1980's MRI systems use a combination of advanced magnets and radio wave technology to produce images of the human body with the clarity of anatomical textbook illustrations. MRI is extensively used in studying the brain and spine as well as the body and the musculoskeletal system. MRIs are also used to image blood vessels providing insight into the chemical components of selected tissue. This Gamma Ray Camera manufactured by GE Medical Systems is used to analyze cardiovascular and circulatory systems.
Nuclear medicine addresses the body's physiological processes rather than the anatomical structure.
A nuclear camera then takes a time-exposure image of the pharmaceutical as it enters the bloodstream and concentrates in the tissues or organs. A nuclear physician then is able to trace the blood flow activity and analyze information about the biological activity of the organ and its related vascular system. Nuclear Medicine has a wide variety of uses, including cancer diagnostics, heart disease, circulatory systems, kidney malfunctions, and other abnormalities in veins, tissues and organs. Nassau Radiologic Group uses nuclear imaging equipment manufactured by GE Medical Systems . Both centers offer a bright, airy environment and feature some of the most modern oncology treatment equipment available on Long Island.
