WILLEMSTAD - Curaçao Medical Center (CMC) announces that the new MRI has arrived and will start the installation process immediately. The plan is for the Radiology department to start seeing patients with MRI appointments during the first week of March. Meanwhile, patients needing an MRI appointment prior to this date will be referred to Advent Hospital. All new appointments will be coordinated through CMC specialists.
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Rmaging) scan is a painless test that produces very clear and detailed images of the organs and structures inside your body. Because MRI doesn’t use X-rays or other radiation, it’s the imaging test of choice when people will need frequent imaging for diagnosis or treatment monitoring, especially of their brain.
