Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Rhode Island Hospital

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Rhode Island Hospital, located at 593 Eddy Street in Providence, Rhode Island, offers state-of-the-art MRI services. MRI scans are performed inside a large cylindrical magnet using a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body. Patients with metal implants or objects in their body should inform the technologist before the scan.

All MRI exams are interpreted by board-certified radiologists with specialized training in MRI. The hospital's Andrew F. Anderson Emergency Center is the only one in New England with an MRI system on-site, allowing for faster and more informed treatment decisions. The hospital also offers the latest technology with the GE SIGNA Voyager MRI at Lifespan Medical Imaging of The Miriam Hospital.

For patient comfort and convenience, Rhode Island Hospital has added an open MRI, the Oasis 1.2T, which provides a more spacious and comfortable experience for patients. The hospital also offers MRI services at various locations including Hasbro Children's Hospital, Newport Hospital, and Portsmouth Imaging Center.

Lifespan, Rhode Island's first health system, was founded in 1994 and includes Rhode Island Hospital, The Miriam Hospital, and other healthcare partners. With a commitment to providing high-quality care and innovative technology, Rhode Island Hospital's MRI services are designed to meet the needs of patients in the region.
