One of the ways they are able to do this is by offering the latest and most advanced imaging technology.<\/p>\n<p>Through the acquisition of the Siemens MAGNETOM Skyra 3T MRI scanner, Flushing Hospital now provides one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced machines in healthcare.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4445\" src=\"http:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MRI-MAGNETOM-Skyra-3T-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MRI-MAGNETOM-Skyra-3T-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MRI-MAGNETOM-Skyra-3T-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MRI-MAGNETOM-Skyra-3T-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/medisyshealth.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MRI-MAGNETOM-Skyra-3T.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Like Flushing&#8217;s previous MRI machine, the new model features an open-bore design, with an extra wide patient tube to accommodate larger patients. The larger size also increases comfort levels and decrease feelings of claustrophobia for all patients. The open-bore feature results in fewer patients requiring sedation and provides overall higher patient satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of the new MAGNETOM Skyra is its advanced imaging capabilities. Equipped with a 3T magnet, it provides the most accurate, high-resolution images and delivers them in less time. The Zero Helium boil-off feature and the Green Cooling package also make the new MRI machine more environmentally friendly and energy efficient.<\/p>\n<p>This new technology compliments Flushing Hospital&#8217;s team of\u00a0Board Certified and fellowship-trained radiologists and highly-trained, experienced technologists. The department is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR), which signifies a higher quality examination and\u00a0care.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareThe Radiology Department at Flushing Hospital offers a wide variety of advanced, state-of-the-art diagnostic and imaging services to its patients.
