Our high performance Echelon 1.5T MRI system combines comfort advantages with powerful technology and a rapid response workstation computer to make patient exams as quick and smooth as possible. 
 
With an investment of just over $1 million in 2007, the system has 16 channels versus the current eight-channel unit being replaced.  The new system will allow for advanced imaging applications, such as advanced peripheral vascular diagnostics, breast MRI, and more.

In the March/April 2007 edition of CA; A Cancer Journal of Clinicians, the American Cancer Society released a guideline that women with a genetic predisposition to breast cancer, and/or those with a family history of the disease, should undergo annual magnetic resonance screening along with routine mammograms.  With Provena United Samaritans Medical Center's MRI, these screenings are now possible here in Danville.
