What is an MRI scan?

An MRI scan allows doctors to safely capture high-quality images of the inside of the body. The main use of a MRI scan is to view potential abnormalities within body structures such as joints, muscles, blood vessels and nerves.

An MRI scan requires patients to lie down on a table which slides through a tunnel containing strong magnetic fields. Patients with certain medical conditions may be prevented from having an MRI scan by doctors. It is suitable for scanning the whole body and is one of the most advanced imaging techniques.

Advanced Cancer Screening

Our MRI scanner, is used for full body cancer screening to detect cancer at early stages.

The procedure is a non-invasive assessment with no biological risk. This screening requires no medication or preparation before the scan and no injected scanning contrasts will be needed. A new method of cancer screening called Whole Body-Diffusion Weighted Imaging (WB-DWI) is used and can allow radiologists to detect cancer lesions as small as 3 millimetres, providing early diagnosis.

After the scan you are able to return to normal daily activities.
