This is from the Alphaklinik web site which is being built as we speak. This is about some of their new equipment which they have just bought. Can people understand now that x-rays are better usually at the Alphaklinik in their own hospital. The site is worth exploring.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) enables the exact diagnosis of spine problems - using magnetic waves that cause no harmful radiation whatsoever. The new EUR 1.2 million Siemens machine in Drs. Dekkers' practice is capable of a much higher resolution than other MRI machines. Its field strength of 1.5 tesla, together with the quantum gradients, make it a top-class machine worldwide.

The combination of a highly specialised examination team and personal consultation with the surgeon represents a major advantage for the patient. During the imaging process the doctor can, via the MRI control console, specify exactly which area he would like to view with an even higher resolution. Patients are welcome to try out sitting in the machine (whilst listening to music of their choice via headphones) prior to the examination.
