Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Advanced MRI Imaging For Accurate Diagnosis
Rather than radiation, MRI relies on a magnetic field to render soft tissue in fine detail, which makes it the sharpest tool for assessing brain, spine, joints and ligaments. A board-certified radiologist interprets every RapidRad study.

What an MRI shows
Detailed Soft Tissue MRI Without Radiation
The scanner combines a powerful magnet with radio wave pulses to assemble sectional views of the body. Since it responds to water content within tissue instead of density, it reveals considerably more in nerve, cartilage, muscle and brain tissue than either CT or X-ray manages.
For that reason, physicians turn to MRI whenever they need to examine anatomy that other imaging leaves ambiguous.
Conditions an MRI commonly evaluates
Studies With Contrast and Without
Certain exams call for gadolinium delivered by IV, which brightens vessels, inflamed tissue and particular tumors on the images. That decision belongs to the doctor writing your order. When contrast is included, we check kidney function beforehand and walk you through each step first.
Open MRI and wide bore options
Feeling boxed in during a standard scan does not have to be part of the experience. The wide bore machines here open up considerably more space near your head and shoulders without sacrificing any diagnostic clarity. Patients with serious claustrophobia can coordinate oral sedation through their physician ahead of time.

Before your appointment
Preparing for your MRI in four steps
MRI asks little of you beforehand, but the safety screening is the exception. Magnets and metal are a combination we take seriously.
Complete safety screening
Report any pacemaker, implant, stent, surgical clip, insulin pump or embedded metal fragment. Certain devices scan safely and others cannot, which is why this conversation happens before we hold your slot.
Eat and take medication normally
Fasting is not required for most MRI studies. Abdominal and pelvic exams are the exception, and our team will tell you when booking whether yours needs an empty stomach.
Leave the metal at home
Choose soft clothing free of zippers, snaps or underwire. Leave rings, watches and hairpins at home. Gowns and a locked storage space are available if you need them.
Arrive fifteen minutes early
Bring your order, photo ID, insurance card and any earlier scans on disc. Those fifteen minutes handle registration so your scanner time is not spent on forms.
Nearby and easy to reach
Imaging center built around Houston neighborhoods
We place our centers near the neighborhoods our patients call home, so quality imaging never costs you an afternoon of driving.
