A Better MRI Experience: Daviess Community Hospital Introduces New State-of-the-Art MRI

At Daviess Community Hospital, we believe you deserve the best technology and the most comfortable experience when it comes to your healthcare. That’s why we’re excited to announce the installation of our brand-new Magnetom Altea 1.5T MRI, an advanced imaging system designed to provide faster scan times, better image quality, and a more comfortable experience for our patients.

If you've ever needed an MRI, you know it can be a stressful experience. But our new MRI is designed with you in mind—offering more space, less noise, and quicker scans while delivering crystal-clear images for accurate diagnoses.

Why This New MRI is a Game-Changer

Our Magnetom Altea 1.5T MRI is more than just an upgrade—it revolutionizes the way we perform MRI scans at Daviess Community Hospital. Here’s what makes it special:

1. Faster Scan Times = Less Time in the Machine

No one wants to spend more time in an MRI machine than necessary. Thanks to advanced AI-powered automation, our new MRI can complete scans much faster than before—without sacrificing image quality - the image quality has, in fact, improved! This means you can get in, get your scan, and get back to your day sooner.

2. Exceptional Image Quality for More Accurate Diagnoses

Doctors rely on MRI scans to make important decisions about your health. Our new MRI delivers sharp, high-resolution images, allowing physicians to detect issues with greater accuracy. Whether you need a scan for your brain, spine, joints, or soft tissues, you can trust that this MRI provides clear, detailed results to help guide your care.

3. A More Comfortable Experience for All Patients

Many people find MRIs uncomfortable, especially if they struggle with claustrophobia or have mobility concerns. Our new MRI features a larger opening (wide-bore design) that helps reduce feelings of being "closed in." Plus, the quiet scanning technology makes for a much more relaxing experience.

This new system also accommodates patients up to 550 pounds, allowing us to serve a wider range of individuals than ever before.

4. More Appointment Availability & Extended Hours

We understand how busy life can be, and waiting for an MRI appointment shouldn’t add to your stress. Our new MRI allows us to see more patients each day, meaning faster scheduling and less waiting time for results.

MRI appointments are available Monday – Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.
