SHARP AND CHILDREN'S MRI PROVIDES IMAGES FOR RADY CHILDREN'S NEW 3-D HEART MODEL PROGRAM

Rady Children's Hospital is the first hospital in San Diego to launch a 3-D Heart Model Program. With this new technology, 3-D printing allows physicians to hold a model of the patient's heart in their hands.
Rady Children's cardiologist Sanjeet Hegde, M.D., Ph.D. and his team create custom data files from the MRI and sends them to a 3-D printer. Holding the heart model in their hands is an invaluable tool for surgical planning and education.

Video goggles are available for children and adults in certain cases. 
The video goggle system allows us to perform the MRI without anesthesia for children and makes having the MRI easier. Goggle Video

Announcing our new state-of-the-art GE 3 Tesla Discovery 750 Scanner
Sharp and Children’s MRI is pleased to announce the addition of a GE 3T Discovery MR 750 scanner at our 7910 Frost Street location.
“The power of our new 3.0T MRI scanner has enabled us to provide exceptional resolution and increase throughput, helping us expand our applications and gain more clinical usefulness for our referring clinicians. Its ability to image with higher detail is resulting in superb visualization of anatomy, especially in areas where high resolution is more challenging to obtain on the 1.5T platform. The more my colleagues and I use it, the more we appreciate it."
-Nick Panchal MD, Medical Co-Director, Sharp and Children's MRI Center 
Our 7th MR scanner with Cinema Vision will provide patients with the best scans possible in a comfortable caring environment for flexible scheduling 7 days a week.
