Another place, the tech seemed proud to reply he had a 3.0.

You could call the radiology dept and ask, or see if your neuro knows.

Yeah, but you see Bill ALWAYS seems to know this stuff, so I figured this would be the lazy way to find out!

Unfortunately, when I had my last MRI in the new machine at Montefiore I forgot to ask if it was a 3.0. The old machines were all 1.5's. I would assume the new machines are 3.0 since UPMC tries to be at the top of the list.
