We’re excited to share that the Grand Forks Clinic has officially upgraded to a new, state-of-the-art MRI machine—the Signa Artist 1.5T with a 70cm bore opening. This advanced technology replaces our previous MRI system and brings significant improvements in patient comfort, image quality, and scan efficiency.

What’s New:
-Larger Bore Opening (70cm): Ideal for patients who are claustrophobic or require more space.
-Shorter Scan Times: Many exams will be completed faster, reducing time spent in the scanner.
-Permanent Installation: This is no longer the “MRI truck”—it’s a top-tier, permanent fixture at our clinic.

This upgrade allows us to serve more patients locally, including those who previously had to travel to other facilities. We’re proud to offer one of the best MRI experiences in the region, right here in Grand Forks.
