MRI has now become the standard imaging method for examining the skull and spine, but its advantages quickly became apparent in the diagnosis of diseases affecting the joints, abdominal and pelvic organs, and blood vessels as well. It can detect neoplastic and inflammatory diseases, injuries, and numerous other abnormalities in these organs.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly sensitive method for examining the organs of the human body, based on the altered behavior of the body’s fluids in a magnetic field. MRI currently represents one of the pinnacles of medical science, and its utility and significance in patient care are extraordinary. This method offers the high level of safety associated with CT scans and, in many areas, even surpasses it; it currently provides the most detailed imaging information about the human body.

MRI does not use X-rays. It uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce highly detailed anatomical images. For this reason, the examination can be repeated as often as necessary and is safe to use even in young children.

MRI examinations are not always possible for patients with pacemakers or implants.

There has been remarkable progress in the field of MRI examinations in recent years, and the range of indications is growing day by day:

In neurology today, MRI is the first-line imaging modality for evaluating symptoms, and it provides an incredible amount of information about the brain and spinal cord. It has long been the technique of choice for examining bones, joints, and muscles, but today the procedure has been supplemented with various “functional” measurements—such as diffusion-weighted imaging. The pelvic region is another area where MRI examinations are the clear first choice: not only can tissue resolution far surpassing that of CT be achieved, but—and this is particularly important—there is no radiation exposure. The indications for MRI have also expanded significantly in the abdominal and thoracic regions.

One of the key advantages of MRI is its excellent native (contrast-free) tissue resolution, which often eliminates the need for contrast agents. However, if contrast agents are needed—to clarify certain abnormalities as accurately as possible—intravenous contrast agents may be used, allowing for even better differentiation of individual organs and pathological lesions; with well-selected contrast agents, complications caused by the contrast agent are practically negligible.

No laboratory tests are required before the examination; the patient may eat.

In our laboratory, MRI examinations are performed using a newly acquired, world-class GE SIGNA Explorer 1.5T scanner by highly trained operators. The resulting image documentation is evaluated by experienced radiologists.

The evaluation of the examination takes 3 business days.
