Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI Scan) – AsiaMedic
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) harnesses powerful magnetic and radio frequencies to produce detailed images of organs and tissues inside the body, which are then used as tools for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions.
AsiaMedic’s MRI services now include the SIGNA™ Hero 3.0 Tesla (3.0T) MRI scanner, equipped with intelligent solutions for faster, more precise scans. With a wide 70cm bore and flexible coils, the scanners prioritise comfort and provide a better experience for larger individuals or for those who are claustrophobic.
AsiaMedic provides a wide range of MRI services for various specialities – cardiac, brain and spine, prostate, liver elastography, nerve, breast, musculoskeletal, body, pelvic and ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) imaging.
Different examinations have specific preparation requirements. Please check with doctor/ nurse if you are unsure.
If you have taken similar examinations in the past, it is advisable to bring them along on your appointment.
When making your appointment, please inform the nurse if you are on medications for conditions like asthma, diabetes, cardiac or kidney diseases, etc, or if you think you may be pregnant.
During the examination
When your appointment is due, you will be led to the examination room by the radiographer.
You will then be requested to position yourself either on the examination bed or to remain standing when the examination is conducted. This will be explained clearly to you by the radiographer who will be conducting the examination. At no time should you feel uncomfortable, and if you are, do inform the radiographer immediately.
Depending on the type and complexity of the examination, each examination will usually take between 10 – 35 minutes.
After the examination
The collection of results will depend on your doctor’s request. The result will either be collected by you where you will bring it back to your doctor for further consultation or it will be dispatched to your doctor who will then schedule an appointment to discuss the findings with you.
