MRI Scan
Our patients are at the core of everything we do
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging which is a way of taking pictures inside the body using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. An MRI scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure which captures high-quality images of inside the body. MRI scans are widely used to view the joints, muscles, nerves, bone marrow, blood vessels, and other body structures.
​
​
During an MRI scan, the patient lies down on a table that slides through a large tunnel containing powerful magnets. It is this strong magnetic field that allows doctors to see inside your body in a way previously only possible through surgery.
​
​
It is suitable for every part of your body, including bones, soft tissues, and the brain, and is one of the most advanced imaging techniques used to date.
