About Image Based Surgery Center

Image Based Surgery Center is a new leader in the next generation of surgical and medical imaging facilities now being built around the world.
In the early days of surgical and medical imaging, centers were cold, faceless facilities with large, noisy and downright frightening hardware. In short, they weren't patient-friendly at all.
Today, facilities like Image Based Surgery Center are setting a new standard for comfortable, relaxing and personable surgery and medical imaging. Our primary goal is to make you, our patient, as comfortable as possible. That's why our facility features:
- A warm, inviting interior design that welcomes you as you walk through the door;
- Specially trained personnel whose primary job is to ensure your comfort and relaxation throughout your entire visit; and
- The revolutionary new Philips Panorama 0.23T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system — fast, open and never claustrophobic, quiet, and best of all, amazing image clarity that your doctor can use to help determine a course of action for your medical care.
Working with physicians just like yours, Image Based Surgery Center strives to provide people just like you with a completely new experience — one that you'll not only enjoy, but that you'll tell your friends about.
Your safety is our primary concern at Image Based Surgery Center. That's why we only use MRI imaging for your procedures. No dangerous radiation from repeated CT scans or x-rays - only the 100% safe, completely comfortable Philips Panorama MRI for all your imaging requirements.

Plus, Image Based Surgery Center has paired the revolutionary 0.23T with the OptiGuide advanced optical guidance system. This allows your doctor to determine specific things about your surgery with pin-point accuracy — far more than with any other system available — resulting in less-invasive surgical techniques, and greater comfort and quicker recovery for you.
Best of all, the 0.23T is designed to be the fastest and most comfortable imaging system ever built — again, all with your comfort in mind. And, it succeeds:
- Its innovative C-shaped, "open air" design means you'll never feel that typical claustrophobia that is common with older "donut" or "tunnel"-shaped systems;
- Its whisper-quiet operation produces only a slight tapping sound during the magnet's imaging operation, and is otherwise silent, meaning no clunk-clunk pounding noise from earlier-generation systems; and
- Its open table-top design of the scanning bed fits everyone from infants to large individuals.
Image Based Surgery Center — tomorrow's surgical-center leader in medical imaging, today. Tell your physician that you want the best — you want Image Based Surgery Center.
