Our Hillcrest MRI facility is located adjacent to UCSD Medical Center and offers patients an "MRI with a view." Patients entering the MRI suite will immediately notice the extra-large room and beautiful picture window overlooking Mission Valley and Mission Bay. This facility is equipped with a Siemens Symphony state-of-the-art MRI scanner. The Symphony MRI scanner was designed to make your procedure fast and worry-free. The Symphony MRI scanner provides the feeling of an "Open MRI" without compromising image quality and access to the latest imaging techniques. The Symphony MRI scanner offers a larger opening, shorter length, and is quieter than conventional scanners, thus reducing or eliminating anxiety, claustrophobia or patient weight limitations.
