MRIClearly superior to many other techniques, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven very valuable for diagnosing many joint and musculoskeletal disorders, enabling doctors to see some body structures that may not be visible by other methods. For patient convenience – and to ensure optimum communication between professionals and the best coordination of your care – Orlin & Cohen has in-house MRI facilities with the latest in technology: at our main office, located at 2 Lincoln Avenue in Rockville Centre and at 70 East Sunrise Highway, Suite 608 in Valley Stream. Our recently upgraded Rockville Centre magnet is a high resolution, wide bore unit which minimizes both the testing time and the potential ‘claustrophobic’ experience. Of note, for scanning many body parts the patient’s head is completely outside of the magnet. Our Valley Stream based magnet is an Open MRI and is ideal for patients who are concerned about the occasional claustrophobic reaction to traditional units. Coming Soon: We have acquired a state-of-the-art, seated Extremity MRI unit which ensures excellent image quality and the ultimate in patient comfort. This unit will be installed shortly. Beyond image quality, the key to the value of MRI testing is the interpretation or reading of the scans. At Orlin & Cohen, we pride ourselves in providing the interpretive services of a radiology team led by Steven Sharon, MD who is one of the very few fellowship trained radiologists in the musculoskeletal specialty in the metropolitan area. To further enhance the patient’s experience when an MRI proves necessary, images are immediately forwarded and available to your physician in digital form. These images can subsequently be accessed by your doctor from any secure location. If your Orlin & Cohen specialist has determined that an MRI is necessary, our knowledgeable office staff can take care of the rest: from scheduling your appointment, to obtaining authorization from your insurance company.
