Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used to provide exceptional images of the brain and other organs, as well as joints and soft tissues. MRI scans can be performed to assess a number of different conditions including cancer, infection, inflammation, and musculoskeletal problems.
The MRI at Jefferson Imaging at Villanova is a powerful, highly-advanced, 3-Tesla scanner that can perform all types of standard MRI scans in a patient-friendly environment. Jefferson Imaging accepts major insurances and offers expedited appointments.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is used to visualize functional physiology. PET imaging is frequently used to evaluate organ activity and assess/detect malignancies.
PET imaging can help find cancers, detect small tumors, discover unknown metastatic cancer, and evaluate response to therapy. Brain PET scans can be used to evaluate patients with head injury, cognitive impairment, seizures, and other neurological and psychiatric conditions.
