IMAGING SERVICES FOR COLD SPRING PATIENTS

The experts at NYSI in Wappingers Falls, NY, use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to help in the diagnosis of health conditions. It’s a noninvasive and safe process that validates our diagnosis. * The radiologists in our digital radiology department use this machine to capture images of bone and soft tissue anatomy and then analyze them. NYSI advanced diagnostic imaging allows us the chance to precisely indicate the best-personalized care to our patients.

New York Spine Institute uses technologically advanced diagnostic imaging: a high field short bore 1.5T MRI system and Digital Radiography (DX) x-ray for our patients in Wappingers Falls, NY.

The high field short bore 1.5T MRI system can be used in a broad range of clinical applications including but not limited to MRI’s of the Spine, Brain, Abdomen, Pelvis, Shoulder, Knee, Hip, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Ankle, and Foot. *

New York Spine Institute’s modern GE 1.5T system gives our physicians with sharp, accurate images of anatomy and pathology to support their evaluation of a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe and helpful tool allowing spine doctors to diagnose various back conditions. It uses magnetism and radio waves to form detailed images. Our back doctors then evaluate these images of different regions of the body for certain diseases or other issues. MRI succeeds when other various methods, like x-ray, ultrasound, or CT (Computed Tomography), do not have as much success. *

It is our number one priority to give world-class back, neck and spine treatment to guarantee steady patient care and comfort. During your visit to our office, we give you the choice of music, earplugs, and a sleeping mask to improve your comfort level.

Our radiologists in our digital radiography department use superior digitized images of bone and soft tissue anatomy in many assessments to locate an accurate diagnosis. For example, a scoliosis diagnosis is done with the use of Long Length Imaging (LLI).

*The effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment will vary by patient and condition. New York Spine Institute does not guarantee certain results.
