Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital opens MRI suite, expanding diagnostic care for Osceola County community
Orlando, FL (May 4, 2026) Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital opened a state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) suite, elevating patient comfort and expanding access to high-quality diagnostic services.
The hospital’s new MRI suite offers a wide range of imaging services to help diagnose patients, including scans for neurology, orthopedics and cardiology.
The MRI is capable of breast imaging using a breast coil, which uses magnetic fields and contrast enhancement to evaluate tissue at a more detailed level. This allows for improved detection in certain high-risk patients and provides complementary information to traditional mammography.
“Investing in advanced technology like this means better care, faster results and improved outcomes for our patients,” said Marc Lillis, chief operating officer of Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital. “It is inspiring to see how these advancements will continue to improve the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities we serve.”
The MRI system is also equipped with airflow technology that helps patients feel cooler and less confined during a scan — an important benefit for anyone who may experience anxiety or claustrophobia. Advanced imaging techniques eliminate the need for breath-holding during certain exams, reducing scan time and enhancing image resolution.
The suite was designed to create a peaceful, relaxing environment for patients, incorporating features such as color-changing ambient lighting and a soothing water landscape mural.
