Get a private MRI scan for your child.
A pediatric MRI scan is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool that helps us gain a detailed understanding of your child’s body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, our MRI machine uses powerful magnets and harmless radio waves to create precise images, helping us identify and address medical concerns effectively.
Pediatric MRI scans can assist in diagnosing a range of conditions, including but not limited to:
This can scan for issues such as brain tumours, epilepsy, spinal chord abnormalities, and neurological disorders.
Some issues that can affect children include fractures and breaks, scoliosis and muscular dystrophy.
An MRI scan can help assess the head after a blow or concussion.
MRI scans can be used to detect heart problems in children such as congenital heart defects and arrhythmias.
If your child has a diagnosed condition, an MRI scan can help monitor the progress of conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis and certain cancers.
Yes, MRI is generally safe for children. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI doesn’t use ionising radiation, making it a safer option. MRI scans are non-invasive and typically painless.
