High-quality imaging—close to home

Rangely District Hospital (RDH) has been providing advanced MRI services to our community, ensuring patients have access to high-quality diagnostic imaging without the burden of traveling long distances. Our MRI suite reflects RDH’s ongoing commitment to delivering modern medical technology and exceptional care right here at home.

RDH is equipped with the GE 1.5T SIGNA™ Voyager AIR™ IQ Edition wide-bore MRI scanner, a powerful imaging system designed to deliver precise, reliable results while prioritizing patient comfort. This advanced technology allows providers to diagnose conditions earlier, plan treatment more effectively, and monitor ongoing health concerns with confidence.

Bringing Advanced Imaging Closer to Home

Access to timely MRI imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. In rural communities, travel for imaging can delay care and create unnecessary stress for patients and families. By offering comprehensive MRI services locally, Rangely District Hospital helps eliminate these barriers—providing faster results, continuity of care, and peace of mind.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create highly detailed images of organs, soft tissues, bones, and blood vessels—without radiation exposure. This makes MRI one of the safest and most informative diagnostic tools available.

Advanced Technology for Clearer Answers

The GE 1.5T SIGNA™ Voyager is designed to produce exceptional image clarity using AIR™ IQ Recon DL technology, an advanced deep-learning reconstruction system that reduces image noise and enhances detail. This allows physicians to identify abnormalities more accurately and, in many cases, reduce the need for repeat scans.

Additional benefits of this system include:

• Improved image quality even with patient movement
• Faster scan times without sacrificing precision
• Enhanced diagnostic confidence for providers

A More Comfortable MRI Experience

RDH’s MRI system was selected with patient comfort in mind. The scanner features AIR™ Coils, which are lightweight, flexible, and designed to conform naturally to the body. This reduces pressure points, minimizes repositioning, and creates a more relaxed experience overall.

The wide-bore design offers a more open feel, which can be especially helpful for patients who experience claustrophobia. Reduced noise levels and shorter scan times also contribute to a calmer, more comfortable imaging experience.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities

MRI services at Rangely District Hospital support a wide range of diagnostic needs, including:

• Neurological Imaging
  Evaluation of strokes, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions.
• Musculoskeletal Imaging
  Diagnosis of joint injuries, arthritis, soft tissue damage, and spinal disorders.
• Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging
  Assessment of organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and reproductive system.
• Vascular Imaging
  Visualization of blood vessels to detect aneurysms, blockages, and circulation issues.

MRI technology is especially valuable because it provides detailed soft tissue imaging that other modalities may not capture, helping guide treatment decisions and long-term care planning.

Patient-Focused Care, Designed for Our Community

Beyond the technology itself, RDH’s MRI suite was thoughtfully designed to support a positive patient experience. From efficient workflows to calming surroundings, every aspect of the imaging process is focused on comfort, privacy, and personalized care.

Our imaging team works closely with referring providers to ensure timely scheduling, accurate results, and seamless coordination of care—so patients can focus on what matters most: their health.

Strengthening Rural Healthcare

At Rangely District Hospital, we believe rural communities deserve access to the same high-quality diagnostic services found in larger healthcare systems. Our MRI services are one more way we continue to invest in the health and well-being of our community, keeping advanced care local and accessible.
