Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

This exam utilizes a magnetic field and measurement of characteristics of pulsed radio waves acting on that field to create an image. Although no preparation is required, patients with heart pacemakers and some types of cochlear (inner ear) implants or brain aneurysm surgery clips may not be able to undergo the exam. Ask your physician or representative during registration at the facility performing the exam.

The exam is offered at:

Houston Northwest Medical Center 
Cypress Fairbanks Hospital 
Tomball Regional Hospital

All types of MRI are offered including: brain, spine, limbs and joints, abdomen, chest, pelvis, and MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiogram) for blood vessels. Open MRI is now available at Houston Northwest 
Medical Center and Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center for claustrophobic patients.
