Imaging

Imaging is a critical tool for the proper diagnosis of joint related disease and Resurgens Joint Replacement Center offers state-of-the-art radiology imaging in all our offices. X-rays are performed by State of Georgia certified technologists with extensive training in joint imaging techniques.

For advanced imaging, Resurgens has seven MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Centers located in our Austell, Chastain, Crawford Long, Lawrenceville, Morrow, Newton, Roswell, and St. Joseph's offices. For improved quality MRI scans, we use high field, closed GE magnets.

Teleradiology allows our Board Certified Radiologists to review the MRI's in their reading stations as the study is being performed. If extra sequences are needed to better visualize pathology, the extra scanning can be done at that time to avoid patients being inconvenienced.

Patient comfort is very important to the Resurgens Joint Replacement Center staff and we have MRI audio/video headsets that virtually eliminate any claustrophobic sensation. Patients are able to watch a movie while the scan is being performed.

All MRI technologists are Board Registered Radiologic Technicians (R.T.) who have been specially trained in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
