MRI

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) creates high-resolution images of the body using a powerful magnet and radio frequency waves.

MRI is a very safe way of producing images that can diagnose medical conditions. It does not use x-rays and has not been shown to have any harmful side effects.

The MRI scanner is an open-ended “doughnut” shape that is surrounded by a large magnet within the circular area. During your examination, you will be asked to lie on a scanning table which will slowly move to position the part of your body being scanned in to the centre of the scanner. It is important that you remain still during the examination so that the best possible images are obtained.
