The magnet:

The Fujifilm 1.5T MRI magnet is an advanced imaging system that uses a powerful 1.5T magnetic field to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. It works by aligning the hydrogen atoms in your body with the magnetic field and then using radio waves to make the atoms produce signals. These signals are processed by a computer to generate highly accurate images of organs, tissues, and bones, which help doctors diagnose medical conditions.

Its combination of a strong magnet with innovative features like faster imaging and high-resolution detail. Fujifilm integrates advanced noise-reduction technology and a 70cm bore, which makes scans more comfortable for patients. It also has software that enhances image clarity while reducing the need for repeated scans. Additionally, the 1.5T strength is powerful enough for detailed imaging but widely compatible with various patient needs, making it a balanced choice for most clinical uses.

 

 

Quantification for Neurological Disorders

Concussion:
The majority of concussion patients who have brain imaging performed are told ‘the scan came back normal.’ This leaves concussed individuals wondering why they are still having symptoms.
Technology has advanced, and Advanced Imaging Reno is bringing that technology to Tahoe and Northern Nevada. Using advanced post processing tools, we are able to tell the density of 133 areas of the brain as well as quantifications of lesions in those with brain injury.

Dementia

The prevalence of Alzheimers is increasing, 5.8 million people were estimated to have the condition in 2020 and is estimated to impact 14 million people by 2060. Using volumetric quantification of 133 brain areas, Advanced Imaging Reno aims to GIVE MORE information about your brain. The density of different areas and patterns of loss of density are compared.

Multiple Sclerosis

Those with Multiple Sclerosis often wonder if their scans are getting worse. So often the radiologic impression is ‘total lesion burden is about the same, no new enhancing lesions.’ With our MS reports previous scans are able to be uploaded and then compared to the current MRI done at Advanced Imaging Reno, providing patients the opportunity to see if lesions are growing, shrinking, increasing or decreasing in number.
