On November 2, 2015, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology acquired
Suffolk MRI’s office, located at 987 West Jericho Turnpike, Smithtown, New
York, making this Zwanger-Pesiri’s second location in Smithtown and their 19th
office overall. Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology
provides the most advanced technology to its patients, and this office will be
the first radiology facility on Long Island to feature a high field strength, OPEN
SIDED MRI machine.
Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology prides itself on being a patient-centric
practice and an open sided MRI unit will accommodate patients who are not
comfortable being imaged on a conventional machine. Zwanger-Pesiri is unwilling to compromise
quality for comfort and believes that the Hitachi Oasis 1.2 Tesla MRI scanner is
the first machine available with the ability to provide excellent images with
superior comfort.
This machine is meant to create a relaxing
environment for patients who cannot comfortably receive a standard MRI exam due
to their size, age, or fear of tight spaces.
The open sided MRI unit offers the patient an unobstructed view for
almost every exam it performs, while still allowing for high quality
images. This new open sided MRI scanner
joins Zwanger-Pesiri’s fleet of nineteen 3T MRI units. The 3T MRI system has long been regarded as
the best medical imaging device available, as they provide incomparable images,
short exam times, and are large enough to accommodate patients weighing up to
550 pounds.
Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology is the only radiology
facility on Long Island to offer both the 3T MRI, which provides a comfortable
experience while providing the highest quality images, and the Oasis 1.2T MRI,
which delivers high quality images in the most comfortable MRI environment yet.
