Brain-Imaging PowerMCG Health System is the first in the Augusta area to acquire a state-of-the-art high-definition magnetic resonance scanner that provides highly detailed pictures of anatomy and pathology. While it can evaluate a wide range of patient conditions, its strength is in imaging the brain. With magnet strength of 3.0 Tesla, the new system is the most powerful MR scanner available to patients today in routine clinical use. MR is a diagnostic imaging tool that creates highly detailed views of every part of the body without using radiation. It helps clinicians diagnose disease in the brain and helps guide treatment and surgical planning. “This new MR scanner has advanced capabilities and new applications that are becoming more important in clinical decision-making,” said Dr. James Rawson, chief of the radiology clinical service.
