Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides clear and detailed images of internal organs and tissues using radio waves and a strong magnetic field. In the neurosciences, MRI is used to:
Diagnose brain tumors, stroke and chronic nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis
Detect tissue abnormalities in patients with disorders of the eyes and inner ear
Document brain abnormalities in patients with dementia
Image diseases of the pituitary gland
Hoag’s MRI services include 3Tesla (most advanced) high-resolution brain imaging with chemical analysis available through Multivoxel MR Spectroscopy (MRS) as well as functional MR (f-MR).
