Published July 1st, 2023 by Great Lakes Medical Imaging

Navigating Medical Imaging: Our Commitment

Making sense of the medical imaging landscape can be intricate. However, at Great Lakes Medical Imaging in Buffalo, NY, our mission is to simplify the process and ensure patient comfort. Our Open MRI technology, a hallmark of our state-of-the-art facilities, aids in achieving this goal.

Open MRI: Comfort and Precision

The Open MRI sets itself apart from traditional MRI machines by addressing claustrophobia, a common concern amongst patients. This progressive technology not only elevates patient comfort but also generates high-resolution images pivotal for precise diagnosis and treatment strategies (RadiologyInfo, 2021).

Interventional Radiology: Minimally Invasive Treatment

In addition to Open MRI, Great Lakes Medical Imaging is proud to provide leading-edge Interventional Radiology services. This modern medical field employs minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in almost all organ systems. These techniques often present fewer risks and necessitate shorter recovery times than conventional surgery (Radiological Society of North America, 2021).

Ultrasound: A Versatile Imaging Method

We offer a wide array of Ultrasound services, a versatile imaging method utilizing sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. Whether for monitoring pregnancy, diagnosing conditions, or assisting physicians during procedures, Ultrasound remains a cornerstone of patient care in Western New York (Mayo Clinic, 2021).

Breast Imaging: Precision in Early Detection

Recognizing the crucial role of early and accurate detection in battling breast diseases, we provide advanced imaging services like Breast Ultrasound, 3D and Digital Mammography, and Breast MRI. These cutting-edge techniques offer exceptional detail and a comprehensive view of breast tissue, facilitating early detection and precise diagnosis (American Cancer Society, 2021).

Addressing Venous Disease and Varicose Veins

Venous diseases can cause discomfort and aesthetic concerns for many patients. At Great Lakes Medical Imaging, we use sophisticated imaging techniques to diagnose and guide treatment for Varicose Veins & Venous Disease, improving patient comfort and their quality of life (Cleveland Clinic, 2021).
