Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The 1.5 tesla Magnetom Aera and 3 tesla Magnetom Skyra magnetic resonance devices used in Astghik BK are unique in Armenia. Siemens Magnetom Skyra

• Thanks to fast protocols and noise reduction technologies, it facilitates the implementation of research even in the case of non-contact patients.
• More detailed evaluation of central nervous system pathologies with higher quality images obtained due to higher magnetic field.
• The possibility of examining obese patients due to a wider diameter and capacious table.
• The ability to obtain high-quality two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of the organs of the abdomen and small pelvic cavities, as well as MR-cholangiopancreatography, studies with dynamic contrast of the liver and kidneys. Significant correction of movement artifacts using FREEZEit technology.
• Implementation of high-quality MR angiographic examinations for visualization of arteries and veins (with and without contrast enhancement) thanks to the applied higher magnetic field and the package of Angio Suite programs.
• Multiparametric examination of the prostate gland with evaluation of gland morphology, physiology and function. Siemens Magnetom Aera
• With the help of the NeuroSuite software package, MAGNETOMAera enables brain MRI studies, including brain perfusion and functional MRI. Carrying out orthopedic examinations (including wrist, shoulder, hip, knee joints).
• Using the Tim 4G technology, combining 18 and 32 channel probes, it is possible to examine the entire body with the oncosearch program and obtain high-quality images, including the abdomen and small pelvic cavity organs.
• Multiparametric examinations of the abdominal cavity as well as the post-abdominal space and the small pelvis cavity (evaluation of liver, kidney and prostate pathologies with dynamic contrast enhancement).
• The cardiology package includes the entire spectrum of programs for the detection of diseases of the cardiovascular system, assessment of myocardial function, morphology and perfusion, as well as innovative 3d angiography and 3d whole heart MRI programs.
• Breast MR examination is carried out using the Тim technology of ankles, which significantly increases the effectiveness of detecting malignant neoplasms and provides additional information before biopsy.
