Diagnostic Imaging Imaging needs at the Andrews Institute are focused on the most advanced technologies for diagnosis or musculoskeletal pathologies. The newest 3 Tesla MRI is located at the Institute for efficient, convenient testing. A complete, accurate diagnosis should be reached in a single day for most musculoskeletal injuries. MRI, MRA, Fluoroscopy, EMG, Digital Radiography, and other services are offered at the adjacent Gulf Breeze Hospital. MRI uses computers and magnetic fields to create pictures of the human anatomy similar to X-rays, but without radiation. Across the nation, about 12.9 million MRI exams are performed each year–a number that is increasing annually. Powerful diagnostic imaging technology enables faster, more detailed exams The Signa® HDx 3.0T MRI scanner at the Andrews Institute is the only device of its kind in Northwest Florida. More than 150 miles separate the MRI scanner located at the Andrews Institute from another located in Mississippi. 
The Signa HDx 3.0T is the latest generation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology from GE Healthcare, the company that introduced the first clinically viable high-field MRI system over 20 years ago. The hardware and software advances in Signa HDx 3.0T (MRI) scanner will help physicians diagnose disease with increased image clarity, greater speed, and confidence. RELEVANCE Equipped with a Signa EXCITE 3.0T system, a facility can handle virtually any MRI application, from brain and spine studies to specialized vascular and cardiac applications to functional and spectroscopic imaging.
