REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY: PET-MRI The Marcus Institute is home to the only PET-MRI scanner in the region, a revolutionary technology that combines the diagnostic capabilities of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The machine s 3-Tesla MRI gives highly precise visualization of the brain s anatomy, while the PET component allows us to observe the brain s functioning in real time. Together, this unique dual scanner allows for an efficient and multi-layered snapshot of brain structures and how they are performing, while limiting exposure to the radiation often involved with less advanced imaging techniques. Our expert EBH providers apply this technology to evaluate the structure of your brain and its blood vessels, as well as to observe the metabolic function of your brain. Jefferson s Radiology Department provides on-site staffing and expertise for these unparalleled imaging capabilities.
