Outpatient Imaging Atlanta GE 3T Wide Bore MRI
OPI – Atlanta Upgrades to New GE 3.0T Wide Bore MRIWhat This Means for Patients and Referring Physicians
The GE 750W 3.0T wide bore unit delivers the exceptional image quality that 3.0 Tesla technology is known for, combined with a wider, shorter bore design that improves patient comfort — particularly for those who may experience anxiety in traditional MRI environments. The increased field strength of 3.0T enables thinner image slices with greater anatomical detail, opening the door to a broader range of advanced diagnostic studies.
With this upgrade, OPI – Atlanta can now perform studies that require thinner slice acquisition, including:
- Body imaging
- High-resolution spine imaging
- Specialized brain and neurological studies
- Detailed extremity imaging (hands, wrists, feet, ankles, elbows, and knees)
- Musculoskeletal studies requiring fine anatomical detail
- Specialized body imaging for prostate and liver
Patient comfort plays a direct role in imaging quality. Unlike busy hospital campuses — with their multi-story parking garages, long corridors, elevators, and the general stress of a large medical complex — OPI – Atlanta offers a calm, straightforward outpatient experience. Patients arrive relaxed, and that matters. A more at-ease patient moves less, breathes more evenly, and tolerates the exam better, all of which contributes to sharper images and more diagnostic value for the radiologist and the treating provider.

Accessible, High-Quality FDG PET/CT Imaging
For referring physicians treating patients with HCC or other cancers requiring advanced staging and prognostic evaluation, Capitol Imaging Services offers FDG PET/CT scan for cancer imaging at multiple locations across the Gulf South region.
Outpatient imaging at Capitol Imaging Services centers typically comes at a significantly lower cost than hospital-based alternatives—without sacrificing image quality or the expert radiology interpretation that complex oncology cases demand.
As the evidence base continues to grow—now including its role as a prognostic biomarker in liver cancer—the case for broader clinical adoption of FDG PET/CT grows with it.
