Spine And Brain Imaging Center (SBIC)

The Spine And Brain Imaging Center (SBIC) is a state-of-the-art medical imaging facility that offers the advanced radiological technologies usually associated exclusively with hospitals, but with the convenience and care of an outpatient setting. Located in Franklin, Wisconsin, in the southwest suburbs of Milwaukee, the SBIC is exclusively dedicated to imaging the brain and the spine. All MRIs and CT scans performed at the Spine & Brain Imaging Center are read by board certified physicians who are fellowship trained in neuroradiology. The procedures are performed by American Association of Neurological Surgeons board certified neurosurgeon Dr. Arvind Ahuja, along with a team of highly skilled and compassionate nursing staff. The radiological procedures are supervised and interpreted by board certified neuroradiologists with results made available within 24 hours. MRI - The radiation-free, American College of Radiology (ACR) certified MRI machine has the latest software capability and produces the highest quality images possible. In addition, it has the added benefit of reducing table time for patients. Spectroscopy - Spectroscopy is a special type of MRI imaging that helps differentiate brain tumor cells from radiation changes in people who have had brain tumor treatments already and are worried about reoccurrence. MRA - The MRI machine can be configured to perform an MRA, or magnetic resonance angiogram, which is used to diagnose aneurysms and carotid disease. This is a special type of MRI in which the machine is configured to examine vascular tissues (blood vessels) rather than brain parenchyma. CT Scans - The CT machine is also equipped with the latest technology available to ensure the highest possible image quality with the lowest radiation levels for patients. The CT machine is also American College of Radiology (ACR) certified and has routine physics examinations to ensure the radiation dose is as minimal as possible. sbicmke.com
