Illini MRI, LLC

Patient Convenience

Illini MRI, LLC is conveniently located at Genesis Medical Center, Illini Campus.  This location allows for inpatients to have their MRI exams without leaving the hospital and our outpatients having multiple testing (i.e. Labs, EKG's, x-rays) are able to get everything done at one location.

Quality

Our ACR (American College of Radiology) accredited facility opened in April of 2004.  Our ARRT certified technologists use the Siemen’s Symphony 1.5 tesla magnet to complete exams.  The images are used to diagnose a wide variety of abnormalities within the body.  One diagnostic use is to determine the source of pain in joints such as the knee.  Usually there are other tests, such as x-rays, which have been completed prior to requesting an MRI.  An MRI is more likely to show injuries such as a meniscus tear, tendon problems, or ligament injuries.

The images from an MRI clearly show superior detail of muscle, nerve, bone, and other body tissue for the purpose of clinical evaluation.  At Illini MRI we have cutting-edge computerized imaging.  The use of sophisticated equipment enables our radiologist to provide a diagnosis quickly, whether it is a herniated disc, brain tumor, blood flow evaluation, nerve study, or other issue.

Comfort

This new system affords you a relaxed and comfortable examination, based on the wide bore magnet design.  The wide design will benefit those patients who find old MRI systems too confining, and claustrophobic.
