MRI Scan 3 Tesla
MRI is a non-invasive imaging method that provides high-resolution images by analyzing the body’s magnetic properties. Unlike CT scans or X-rays, it avoids radiation, offering a safer alternative for patients. The procedure involves lying in a tubular scanner while magnets generate clear images of internal organs and tissues. Your doctor may request contrast material for enhanced visuals. Results Your doctor may request contrast material for enhanced visuals. Results are reviewed by a radiologist and delivered to your doctor within a clinically appropriate timeframe
- Non-invasive imaging technique with no radiation exposure.
- Uses magnets and radio waves for detailed internal images.
- Patients must remove metal objects before the procedure.
- Ideal for diagnosing soft tissue, joints, and organ conditions.
- Contrast material may be used for enhanced imaging.
- Average scan time: 30-45 minutes (excluding preparation).
- Communicate with technologists during the procedure via microphone.
- Results shared with your doctor within 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Understand how to prepare, what to expect, and safety measures for MRI procedures.
Remove all metal or electronic items, including jewelry and watches. Inform your doctor of any metal implants, medical conditions, or pregnancies. Follow specific instructions if contrast material is required.
You’ll lie lay on a movable table that enters a tubular scanner.
It depends on the type and location of the implant. Some devices are MRI-safe; consult your doctor and technologist to confirm eligibility.
Discuss your concerns with your doctor beforehand. A sedative might be prescribed to help you relax during the exam.
Contrast material is generally safe, but rare allergic reactions like itchiness or swelling may occur. Inform the technologist immediately if symptoms arise during or after the procedure.
A radiologist reviews the images and sends a report to your doctor within 24 hours. Your doctor will discuss the findings and recommend next steps.
