Parkside’s new MAGNETOM Espree™, the world’s most advanced Open MRI, offers an experience that exceeds all expectations.

Image quality not seen before in an open MRI Parkside’s state-of-the-art Magnetom Espree combines, in a single powerful system, a 1.5 Tesla high field image performance with the most open design possible. This high-resolution 3D Time of Flight image demonstrates excellent visualization and higher SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), particularly in the periphery. This high-resolution Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) image utilizes the highest SNR possible. If required, the Head Matrix can be seamlessly combined with the Neck Matrix and Spine Matrix for complete head-neck imaging. This high-resolution lumbar spine TSE image demonstrates the superb image quality achieved with the Spine Matrix.

A better MRI Experience for patients

• More Convenience: Parkside Imaging, conveniently located just 1 mile from Resurrection Medical Center and 5 miles from Lutheran General Hospital, has ample, sheltered free parking on site.
• More Quickly: We, along with Parkside MR Center at 1875 Dempster Street, offer streamlined appointment scheduling within 24 hours. And we accept most insurance carriers.
• More comfort: You’ll enjoy our more spacious open MRI. It’s feet first with head out for most exams. And because our MRI observes you virtually from every angle, only rarely is it necessary to move or reposition you. That means shorter exam times, and there’s less noise, too.
• More freedom: You’ll welcome our enlarged examination space. If your head needs to be inside, there’s a foot of headroom for more unrestricted breathing space.
• More accessibility: You’ll find us even more accommodating.We easily can scan every patient from pediatric to geriatric and can provide real relief to those who are claustrophobic, anxious or larger. Seldom is sedation needed.

A better MRI Performance for doctors

• More Expertise: Leaders in MRI imaging and diagnoses, Parkside radiologists have the expertise to get the most out of the data and form more accurate diagnoses.
• More Timely: Parkside typically provides results in 24 hours or less and access to an on-site Parkside radiologist for additional physician consultation.
• Superior image quality: The state-of-the-art Magnetom Espree by Siemens is a hybrid MRI system, combining open MRI features with 1.5 Tesla high field image quality.
• An exceptional level of power: This powerful system delivers true 6'9” long, seamless, whole-body anatomical coverage, with no coil reconfiguration.
• Greater diagnostic confidence: There’s no longer any need to be compromised by an open MRI system with limited field of view (FOV) and limited contrast and spatial resolution. Our advanced open MRI system provides images with better detail that lower field systems cannot provide.
