MRI | Corridor Radiology
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, also known as MRI, is one of the most common and widely accepted imaging techniques in the radiologic industry. Accurate, detailed pictures of internal organs are produced via a high-power magnetic field, radio waves and an innovative computer model. MRI is an excellent tool to examine soft tissue injuries around the upper or lower extremity joints. Corridor Radiology uses its MRI technology to produce vivid pictures of the brain, heart, spine, organs in the abdomen, various joints in the extremities and much more.
MRI is utilized to diagnose a wide range of medical conditions including arthritis, joint disease, male and female reproductive issues, bone fractures and tissue damage.

Breast MRI
Corridor Radiology utilizes Breast MRI in conjunction with mammography for supplemental routine screening. MRI is a useful breast cancer screening tool for all women. It’s also our standard of practice for patients who are high-risk for breast cancer, including patients who are BRCA1 positive, patients with dense breasts, and patients who have strong family history. Breast MRI is also the best method for determining weather silicone breast implants have ruptured.
Breast MRI is recommended 6 months after a routine screening mammogram. We can perform these exams the same day as a routine screening mammogram if requested.
It’s best to check with your insurance for coverage when price shopping for your Breast MRI. If you choose to forgo using insurance, or if the exam is not covered, out of pocket, same day payment is $450.00
