3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (3T MRI) is the newest and most advanced imaging technology available. Because 3T MRI is twice as strong as older MRIs, it provides twice the speed/twice the detail which produces stunning image quality allowing for more accurate diagnoses of medical conditions at their earliest and potentially curable stages.
Salem Regional Medical Center is proud to have the only 3T MRI between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The 3T Open MRI has a large 86-inch circumference and is able to accommodate claustrophobic patients and patients up to 550 pounds.

3T MRI provides complete spine imaging with twice the speed and twice detail of older area scanners. Special tech-niques allow for advanced imaging of the spinal cord, nerves, and vertebral bodies including patients with prior surgery, scar tissue, and metallic implants.
Useful for back pain, prior surgery (including metallic im-plants), multiple sclerosis, and cancer work-up.
