MRI FAQs

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an advanced scan that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal organs, joints, brain, spine, and soft tissues—without using radiation.

Your doctor may suggest an MRI to diagnose:

• Brain or spine conditions
• Nerve or disc problems
• Joint, ligament, or sports injuries
• Tumours and soft tissue abnormalities
• Breast and abdominal diseases
• Heart conditions
• Fetal abnormalities during pregnancy

MRI helps plan treatment and surgeries more accurately

• Wear comfortable clothes without metal.
• Remove jewellery, hairpins, watches, wallets, hearing devices.
• Inform us if you have metal implants, pacemakers, artificial joints, or prior surgeries.
• Some MRI scans require fasting or contrast injection—you’ll be informed beforehand.

MRI is painless and non-invasive. Common normal sensations:

• Warmth in the scanned area
• Noise from the machine
  If contrast is given, you may feel a brief cool sensation in the arm. After the scan, you can resume normal activities immediately.
