New MRI Equipment At Celebration Health

A New 'Wave' of MRI Technology Comes to Florida Hospital Celebration Health's Island-Themed Imaging Center

Celebration Health gets MRI scanner with new capabilities, benefiting larger patients and athletes

WHAT:           Professional wrester and actor, Kevin Nash, is cruising into Florida Hospital Celebration
                  Health for MRIsland - an event to showcase the new 3T MRI scanner. This imaging
                  machinery is now available at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, making it the first
                  hospital in Central Florida to offer the latest 3T equipment with even more advanced
                  MRI capabilities.

                  Nash, a patient of Florida Hospital Celebration Health, is nearly seven feet tall and
                  weighs more than 300 pounds, so he will truly be able to notice the difference of the new
                  3T scanner. Because MRIs are a common diagnostic tool for athletes like Nash, larger 
                  patients including athletes will benefit from this new equipment because it has a wider
                  opening. Besides allowing patients a more comfortable experience, the new scanner is
                  also better for people with claustrophobia and it has a stronger magnet to provide
                  cleaner images.

                  Located in Florida Hospital Celebration Health's island-themed imaging center, Kevin
                  Nash will demonstrate the difference between regular MRI equipment and the 3T MRI.
                  Come join us in tropical paradise to learn about this new 'wave' of medical imaging 
                  technology now available in Central Florida! Decipher
