MRI Upgrade

Boone Health recently upgraded their imaging capabilities with a new, state-of-the-art 3T widebore MRI machine at Boone Hospital Center. The new MRI features updated coil technology and enhanced patient movement reduction software, which will directly result in better image quality. The new software also allows for much faster scan times, which along with the wider table and more room inside the scanner, provides a more enjoyable patient experience.
