What is MRI Scan?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic scan that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs, soft tissues, and structures inside the body. Unlike CT scans or X-rays, MRI does not use radiation, making it very safe for repeated use.
When is MRI Scan Recommended?
- Brain and neurological conditions (stroke, tumours, MS)
- Spine and back pain (disc herniation, spinal cord problems)
- Joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip, wrist)
- Abdominal and pelvic organs

How to Prepare for MRI Scan

- 3Inform us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- 4For abdominal MRI: fast for 4-6 hours before the scan
- 5For contrast MRI: inform us of any allergies to contrast dye

What Happens During the MRI Scan?
You will lie on a sliding table that moves into the MRI scanner (a large cylindrical magnet). During the scan, you will hear loud knocking sounds — this is normal. The scan takes 30-60 minutes depending on the body part. You must remain very still. Some scans use a contrast dye injected through a vein to improve image clarity.
