Everyone's familiar with X-rays. We have them when we break a bone, or when some medical internal imaging is required — it has been so for nearly 100 years. 

But X-rays carry a certain danger to them: radiation. Overexposure to radiation through multiple X-rays can result in a variety of adverse medical conditions, and can be extremely problematic for those battling cancer or similar afflictions. 

Plus, with traditional mammographies, many scanning techniques employ the "smash-and-shoot" methodology which can cause extreme discomfort for many patients — and in those with breast implants, there is a high risk of implant rupture. 

Worse, those who have had breast augmentation or surgeries for many conditions often have scar tissue which can be highly problematic for accurate readings by radiologists. 

Fortunately, advances in medical imaging technology have delivered safe, radiation-free scanning for all: magnetic resonance imaging. MR imaging is capable of providing the same or superior imaging services for a wide range of issues. And MR imaging is able to "see through" scar tissue in ways that CT scans and their x-rays simply cannot.

This means one thing to you: a more accurate reading by the radiologist, and a more effective scan.

Beyond safety and superior scanning technology exists another compelling reason for the use of MR imaging: comfort. The unparalleled comfort of MR imaging is the primary reason Ocean Park Imaging selected the Philips Panorama magnetic resonance imaging station. Not only is it completely safe, its open-air design means no claustrophobic tunnel design found on earlier-generation MR stations — so you lay out in the open, positioned under the target magnet for scanning.

Simply put, the Philips Panorama is the most comfortable medical imaging station ever designed — and Ocean Park Imaging is one of only a handful of Philips Panorama installations in North America.

So when you're considering your partner for your next mammography, trust Ocean Park Imaging to deliver the most effective scans with the highest degree of comfort and safety. You simply will not believe it is a mammography! That's because it's something entirely new: the breast MRI.
