All professional imaging services are provided by California Advanced Imaging Associates, radiologists who have sub-specialty qualifications in spine and musculoskeletal imaging, neuroradiology, brain and body imaging read scans. Marin Outpatient MRI also has an active breast-imaging program, which will be an enhancement to the Marin Healthcare District's Breast Health Center, according to the district.

The following imaging services are offered at Marin Outpatient MRI:

• Abdominal and Pelvic MRI

• Orthopedic MRI (hips, knees, shoulder, ankles, etc.)
• Magnetic Resonance Arteriography (MRA) of the aorta, head, lower leg arteries, renal arteries, carotid arteries)
• Spine MRI

"Our efforts to modernize the facility include the addition of a 3 Tesla magnet which will improve efficiency and add state-of-the-art MRI imaging currently not available in Marin County at the center," Lee Domanico, CEO of Marin Healthcare District, said in a statement. "We are also updating the patient areas to improve the overall experience, comfort, and privacy."
