Diagnostic Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI uses waves and a strong magnetic field to produce clear and detailed pictures of the body, without the use of x-rays. It is a non-invasive way of viewing organs, soft tissues, bone and other internal body structures.

  • Analysis of any part of the body including the brain, spine, joints, bones and soft tissues.
  • Diagnosis of small tears, injuries to tendons, ligaments, muscles and small fractures which cannot be seen on x-rays.
  • Diagnosis of degenerative disorders such as arthritis
  • Analysis of damage to the spinal cord after trauma
  • Diagnosis and analysis of infections and tumours of the nervous system, bones and joints.
  • No special preparation of food restriction is required except for MRI Abdomen, MR Liver and MRCP, 4-6 hrs fasting is required before the examination.
  • Inform our staff if you have any existing medical conditions or electronic devices in your body. Please also bring along any information on the implants you have. Surgical screws, staples generally are safe for MRI if they have been placed more than 6 weeks ago.
  • Jewellery or any metal objects must be removed prior to the MRI scan.
  • If you are claustrophobic, sedation may be required. Please highlight this when making an appointment or speak to your doctor about it.
  • A contrast medium may be administered to enhance the visibility of certain tissues or blood vessels. This is usually injected in the vein of your hand or arm.
  • You may be asked to do a blood test for Creatinine Serum before the scan appointment, if required.
  • Please bring along any previous scan images/report (if any)
