MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides a way to see detailed images inside your body without the use of x-rays. Instead, MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to display detailed views of internal structures such as the brain, spine, joints, extremities, abdomen, pelvis, nerves and vessels. MRI produces exceptionally clear images in any imaging plane. This enables your doctor or provider to make a more accurate diagnosis.
Asheville MRI, a division of Asheville Radiology, provides outstanding MRI services to Western North Carolina. Our expert team of radiologists is highly respected throughout the medical community for their extraordinary skills in MRI interpretation specializing in neuroradiology, body, musculoskeletal and vascular MRI.

Asheville MRI offers two MRI scanners. We have the GE 1.5 Telsa high-field MRI scanner with the latest and most advanced technology that provides optimal image quality. This technology also provides speed to dramatically shorten the time the patient spends on the table.
Our second scanner is the Hitachi .7 Tesla high-field performance Open MRI scanner. This state-of-the-art imaging system is designed for all patients and has a large opening to accommodate patients who weigh over 300 pounds and also those with severe claustrophobia.
