IMAGING SERVICES FOR FREEPORT PATIENTS

The specialists at NYSI in Freeport, NY are regularly adapting to the ever-changing advancements in technology. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) helps the doctors analyze different medical conditions. It’s a safe and efficient tool that gives us a high-quality image. * The radiologists in our digital radiology department use MRIs to examine the pictures of bone and soft tissue anatomy. NYSI advanced diagnostic imaging provides us with the opportunity to give our patients the right type of treatment from the start.

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 Freeport, NY.

The high field short bore 1.5T MRI system can be used in various 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 new GE 1.5T system gives our spine doctors excellent, detailed images of anatomy and pathology to support their assessment of an extensive range of musculoskeletal disorders.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been confirmed to be a safe and helpful tool allowing physicians to distinguish different back and neck conditions. It uses magnetism and radio waves to construct exact images. Our physicians then assess these images for specific diseases or other issues. MRI works when other types of methods, like x-ray, ultrasound, or CT (Computed Tomography), do not succeed. *

We aim to deliver excellent back, neck and spine therapy by making sure you are as relaxed as possible during your visit. We offer an array of music, earplugs, and a sleeping mask to help you feel at home.
