WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Aspirus Riverview Hospital recently installed its new state-of-the-art Wide Bore MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine, marking what Kelly Kremer, manager of imaging services, said is a significant upgrade to the facility’s diagnostic imaging capabilities.
Kremer said Wide Bore MRI is specifically designed to enhance patient comfort, particularly for those who experience anxiety or claustrophobia during traditional MRI procedures, while providing more precise and detailed imaging to aid in diagnosis and treatment.
“The Wide Bore MRI is a game-changer for our patients and our medical team,” she said. “Its larger opening offers a more comfortable experience, which is especially beneficial for patients who may have struggled with the confined space of older machines.”
Beyond comfort, Kremer said the advanced imaging capabilities allow Aspirus to capture clearer, more detailed scans that are “crucial for accurate diagnoses.”
“The enhanced technology ensures that our medical team can provide the highest level of care, close to home, whether it’s diagnosing complex conditions or monitoring treatment progress,” she said.
