The Imaging Center

The Imaging Center offers the only high field open MRI in northern Colorado! The company has recently purchased a Hitachi Oasis 1.2T Open MRI and will be installing it at the company's Loveland location adjacent to the Medical Center of the Rockies. The company expect the system to be operational later this year. The Hitachi Oasis Open MRI has an a... ccommodating design that reassures patients, as well as a broad range of clinical capabilities and features to meet the demand of today's diagnostic imaging professionals. Headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio, Hitachi has been a long-time pioneer of diagnostic imaging systems, with more than 1,500 installed in the United States. Hitachi has put a great deal of emphasis on making patients comfortable during their MRI exam. The inside of the Oasis MRI gantry provides a 270 degree view, which minimizes anxiety and claustrophobia and maximizes a more pleasant environment for the patient during the MRI exam. This also allows the patient to have a loved one or friend nearby during the exam for further reassurance. The Oasis can even accommodate patients up to 660 pounds in a comfortable, high-quality environment. To further improve the MRI experience, the company has also purchased a state-of-the-art video system that lets patients watch videos during their MRI exam! The CinemaVision system by Resonance Technology, Inc., is a goggle based system that simulates watching a 62-inch TV screen from 5 feet away. The accompanying headset helps to block out noise of the MRI machine and also allow two way communications with the company's technical staff. This video system has been proven to help children and claustrophobic patients to better tolerate an MRI exam without medication! The Imaging Center is acquiring the new Oasis Open MRI system to offer physicians and patients from Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, and other nearby communities access to the most advanced diagnostic imaging techniques currently available in the healthcare industry.Read More
