Our New MRI is Here
Cape Radiology Group (CRG) has installed a new 1.5Tesla Siemens Altea MRI at our 70 Doctors’ Park, Cape Girardeau location. The magnet has a 70cm open bore and multi-channel coils with the capability to produce high resolution imaging. CRG is proud to announce we are the first facility in the region to utilize AI-powered image reconstruction software called Deep Resolve to advance care delivery. The state-of-the-art system encompasses several features that will produce sharper images and provide quicker scanning times improving patient comfort for those who are in significant pain or claustrophobic.
The MRI suite is operated by registered MRI technologists recognized by the ARRT (The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists). Simsouda Mahathath, Operations Manager, and Jason Morris, Facility & Equipment Manager, headed up the installation project which included a room makeover to increase the patient experience.
The imaging facility can often accommodate same day referrals depending on insurance requirements and has evening availability throughout the week for MRI appointments.
