3T MRI
Fast Scans. Clear Results. Simply Better.
Jupiter Medical Center is one of the few facilities in the region to offer
3T MRI. Traditional MRI machines operate at a strength of 1.5T, or Teslas.
A tesla is the unit of measurement quantifying the strength of a magnetic
field. A 3T MRI generates a magnetic field that is twice as strong as
a normal MRI, and 10 to 15 times as strong as open MRI scanners.
3T MRIs provide more scanning options, including the ability to scan in
tiny slices as small as 1mm to help with difficult diagnosis of complex
conditions. They provide higher detailed images in less time and are especially
suited for scans of conditions involving the brain, spine, and musculoskeletal
systems. 3T MRI is the best and most accurate, non-invasive option for
evaluation and diagnosis of the prostate.
PET CT
Exceptional Image Quality. Lower Dose.
Jupiter Medical Center's Imaging Services offers patients the PET CT
system most widely used and trusted by clinicians across the world. GE
Discovery™ IQ provides high sensitivity for exceptional image quality.
This is especially useful in detecting small lesions. The system also
offers MotionFree, the first-ever digital respiratory motion management
solution that continually monitors respiratory motion in every PET CT
procedure and automatically modifies the scan in real time. MotionFree
is the new standard for PET imaging and an essential tool for better outcomes.
A PET CT scan is useful in detecting or evaluating several conditions,
including many cancers, heart disease and brain disorders.
