What is an MRI and how do I prepare for it?

Southern Medical Imaging has just added one the most advanced diagnostic tools for helping physicians reach confident diagnoses and helping patients feel more comfortable during MR scans. The new Optima MR450w system from GE Healthcare has an opening so that virtually all patients, especially larger patients, or patients who do not like the feeling of being closed in, feel more at ease during a scan. Unlike many previous wide-bore systems, this system from GE has advanced capabilities and delivers uncompromised image quality. This advanced technology helps make the scanning experience more user-friendly for patients and doctors as well.

How do I get my test results?
In most cases, your Physician’s office or nurse will call you with the results of your test. Please allow 5-7 business days for us to receive the test results from the facility they were done and for the physician to review the results.  If you have additional questions or other issues that you need to discuss with the Nurse, you may call the office at any time.

How do I make an appointment?
Because of the type of our specialty, most patients need to see their primary or family physician first to order any pertinent tests needed to evaluate your condition for a surgical opinion. Once they have determined you need neurosurgical treatment, have their office call us to schedule your appointment and send us all your records. 

You may visit our Walk-In Spine Center where our medical staff will evaluate your condition and order the appropriate test(s), if needed, then referring you for neurosurgical treatment.

Southern Neurologic & Spinal Institute has three locations.
