Beverly Hospital at Danvers Houses Highest-powered MRI Magnet on

the North Shore
MRI delivers superior, high-definition images for improved patient care

(Danvers, MA)-The beginning of April marked the opening of the new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) center at Beverly Hospital at Danvers, Beverly Hospital’s state-of-the-art regional outpatient care facility located in Danvers. The new MRI center is the first on the North Shore to offer a 3.0 Tesla MRI--the latest and most advanced clinical MRI technology available today.

MRI technology uses computers and magnetic fields, rather than radiation, to capture images of the human body. With a magnet strength of 3.0 Tesla, the Beverly Hospital at Danvers MRI is the most powerful available for clinical use and allows for optimal diagnostic capabilities when assessing anatomy, pathology, physiology and function.

“We are very pleased to provide our patients with the highest quality of MRI services available on the North Shore,” said Dr. Steven Defossez, medical director of the Beverly Hospital at Danvers MRI Center. “The 3.0 Tesla MRI will aid our healthcare professionals by providing the most detailed, high-definition images available and will increase our patients’ comfort, as MRI exams will be streamlined and repeated less often due to the superior quality of the images.”

The Beverly Hospital at Danvers MRI Center is open seven days a week and offers extended morning and evening hours Sunday through Friday for increased flexibility in scheduling. MRI services remain available on the Beverly Hospital campus in addition to those available at Beverly Hospital at Danvers. For more information or to schedule an appointment at either location, please call 1-866-MRI-0466.

Please note that all Northeast Health System mammography facilities possess a valid license and certificate of inspection by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
