MRI

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, uses various magnetic fields to produce images of the body from information based on the way the body responds to the magnetic fields, how it relaxes when the magnetic fields are changed, and where the interactions occur in the body.

Rapid City Regional Hospital has a state-of-the-art high-field Siemens 1.5 Tesla Symphony MRI system. This cutting edge technology uses the highest magnetic field and stronger waves to image patients, resulting in maximum patient comfort and shorter exam times.
