JAMESTOWN, N.D. (JRMC) – Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) has introduced a new MRI machine, bringing cutting-edge technology to the region. This state-of-the-art system offers clearer images, faster scan times and a more comfortable experience for patients.
The MRI’s spacious design helps reduce feelings of claustrophobia, while a patient-friendly table simplifies movement into the machine. These upgrades are especially beneficial for patients with mobility challenges or wounds, who can now be transferred more comfortably and less often during their visit.
The system also addresses common patient concerns, such as noise, positioning and the sense of isolation during scans. Flexible, lightweight imaging coils conform to the body, eliminating the rigid equipment of the past. Additional features, including ambient lighting, personalized music and a built-in camera, create a more relaxing and connected experience. Technicians can monitor patients in real time, offering reassurance and support throughout the scan.
“This MRI takes patient care to the next level,” said Jeremy Braun, MRI technologist. “With options like ambient lighting, personalized music and shorter scan times, we’re creating a better experience for everyone.”
The new MRI’s advanced imaging capabilities allow for faster, higher-quality scans. Previous systems required up to 40 minutes for high-resolution images, but the new technology completes these scans in half the time. Shorter scan times make the process easier for patients who struggle to remain still and allow the medical center to accommodate more scans in a single day.
“This is a game-changer for our community,” said Conrad Mitzel, radiology manager at JRMC. “From orthopedic imaging to cancer care, this machine offers precision and comfort we’ve never had before.”
Software updates for the lifetime of the machine are included as part of JRMC’s acquisition. This ensures the medical center stays at the forefront of imaging technology while making a cost-effective investment. By continually upgrading the system, JRMC can provide patients with the most advanced imaging capabilities without the need for frequent equipment replacements.
JRMC continues to invest in advanced technology to meet the needs of its patients and provide exceptional care close to home.
