What is an MRI scan?
Both painless and safe, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan uses magnetic fields and radio waves to give a detailed image of the inside of your body. The results help us to identify any unhealthy tissue.
The scanner itself is a long tube that you lie inside, and the process itself usually takes between 20 and 60 minutes, or slightly more if we need to scan multiple areas.
You’ll need to remain as still as possible throughout. You may feel some vibrations and hear a knocking noise when the scan is taking place. While this isn’t anything to worry about, many patients prefer to listen to music or podcasts during the scan.
How long does an MRI scan take?
What is an MRI scan used to diagnose?
MRI scans are often the first choice for assessing orthopaedic injuries, including ligament, cartilage, joint, muscle and bone damage.
Its ability to produce highly detailed images of organs, muscles and the musculoskeletal system, means MRI is also used for testing and diagnosing brain and spinal cord injuries, and works well with mammography to detect breast issues including breast cancer.
For patients with cardiovascular problems, MRI is especially helpful for investigating the heart and blood vessels. This includes assessing:
- Any blockage or inflammation in the blood vessels
- Changes to the heart’s wall
- Damage caused by heart attack or heart disease
- Structural problems in the aorta
- The heart’s chambers including size and function
Is MRI safe for repeated use?
Unlike other imaging techniques, such as CT scanning, it does not use radiation. This makes it a safe option for repeated imaging, especially for conditions that require ongoing monitoring or when radiation dose is a consideration for paediatric patients.
