Attention! Capital Clinic Riga provides the unique diagnostic opportunities in co-operation with the neighboring (1A Bukultu Street) Clinic "Orto" where you can find Capital Clinic Riga's partner heath center's "Health Center 4" Magnetic Resonance cabinet with Siemens Magnetom Spectra magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. This is the only diagnostic equipment of such kind in Latvia. It includes the latest developments and technologies in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With this closed-type MRI apparatus with a magnetic field strength of 3T (Tesla) MRI diagnostics and be made quickly and efficiently without losing the image quality. This is very important in cases of severe injuries and disease, where it is difficult for the patient to stand still for a longer period of time. Siemens Magnetom SpectraMR is also unique because of it's provided possibility to simultaneously scan the whole body (full body MRI scan), which could not be done in Latvia before, because the magnetic field strength of all other MRI equipment is only below 1.5 T.
