Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, MRI Services, is proud to announce the installation of the first High Field Open MRI serving patients of Chicago and Northeastern Illinois. The Oasis provides us with an opportunity to best serve our patients with the most technologically advanced MRI features. We pride ourselves in offering the convergence of quality and convenience. Beyond the cutting-edge technology we utilize, along with the flexible and personalized customer service we offer, patients are able to see their physicians and have their MRI procedure completed on the same day, as needed.

“Upgrading to this new and most innovative High Field Open MRI System allows us to offer our referring physicians with excellent image quality and our patients with the comfort they deserve”

"Upgrading to this new and most innovative High Field Open MRI System allows us to offer our referring physicians with excellent image quality and our patients with the comfort they deserve," says Thomas F. Nagelli, Director of MRI Services. "With the combination of the faster scan times and the open architecture, we are able to accommodate patients of all types in this bore-less MRI System" he added.

Physicians benefit from the flexibility of customizable protocols and arthrogram procedures, and from the subspecialized image interpretations by Board Certified Radiologists. In turn, our patients enjoy the ultimate MRI experience through the unparalleled comfort and service we provide. Of our eight MRI locations conveniently located around the Chicagoland area, seven of our MRI systems are from the Hitachi line of products.

"We are very excited about our relationship with Illinois Bone and Joint Institute and are excited to see our first Chicago installation in a facility dedicated to excellence," said Sheldon Schaffer, Vice President and General Manager MRI & CT.
