“The imaging technology we use at Foot Ankle and Knee MRI is superior to what is available through traditional imaging, producing high image quality images and a non-tunnel MRI experience.  The small-bore, or aperture, effectively "focuses" the machine on the leg.  Other technological advancements include a totally cloud-based, secure web interface that includes online scheduling and "rapid results" (instantaneous access to patient reports and images) providing our referring offices streamlined access for scheduling appointments and obtaining reports and viewing images."
