What is an MRI?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a sophisticated computer system to create detailed and high-resolution images of the internal structures of the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation.
During an MRI, the patient is positioned inside a strong magnetic field, and radio waves are directed at the body. This interaction between the magnetic field and radio waves produces signals from the body’s tissues. The computer processes these signals to create cross-sectional images, allowing healthcare professionals to visualize organs, soft tissues, bones, and other internal structures with exceptional clarity.

We are committed to providing comprehensive and affordable MRI Services to our patients.

A 3T MRI refers to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner with a magnetic field strength of 3 Tesla. This higher field strength allows for enhanced image quality and improved visualization of anatomical structures.
Yes, MRI is generally considered safe. It does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option compared to other imaging modalities. However, individuals with certain metal implants or devices may need to consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing an MRI.
MRI is versatile and can be used to diagnose various conditions, including but not limited to neurological disorders, musculoskeletal issues, tumors, joint problems, and vascular abnormalities.
The duration of an MRI scan varies depending on the type of imaging needed and the body part being examined. Typically, an MRI takes between 30 minutes to an hour.
Preparation instructions can vary, but generally, patients may be asked to remove metal objects and inform the healthcare provider about any metal implants, pregnancy, or other relevant health factors.
No, MRI does not use ionizing radiation. Instead, it relies on magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images, making it a safer option for repeated imaging.
While MRI is safe for many individuals, certain conditions or metal implants may restrict its use. Pregnant individuals should inform their healthcare provider, and those with pacemakers or certain implants may not be eligible for an MRI.
