MRI
Jennie Stuart Medical Center has a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The MRI provides exceptionally clear images of the human body and has many beneficial uses for patients, especially those with orthopedic or neurologic problems. Also, because the MRI is an "easy view" system, it is less claustrophobic for patients. The exam room features music, a skylight and plants to create a soothing atmosphere. And most importantly, all MRI images at JSMC are read and interpreted by board certified radiologists associated with the hospital.
