Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical examination method that uses magnetic fields and radiological waves to create detailed images of the internal structure of the body. MRI is widely used to diagnose and examine various conditions, such as diseases of the brain and spinal cord, joints, abdominal organs, chest, blood vessels and soft tissues.

Indications for a visit

In various cases, the doctor may direct the patient to undergo a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination.

Here are some common symptoms that may need an MRI examination:

• Headache. Severe, frequent, or unexplainable headaches, especially if they do not disappear after standard treatments.
• Neurological symptoms. Convulsions, numbness, weakness, changes of vision, dizziness, insomnia and other neurological conditions,
• Head and neck surgeries 
• Back pain. prolonged or intense back pain, especially if accompanied with other symptoms,
• Oncological problems. suspecting an existence of a tumor or neoplasia in organs and tissues
• Diseases of abdominal organs 
• Painful sensations in the chest
• Vascular problems.

Usually, an MRI is ordered by a doctor based on the medical history, clinical symptoms, and other available data.

Within the MRI examination process, the following are carried out:

• MRI of the head and brain
• MRI of spine
• MRI of the neck
• MRI of the chest 
• MRI of the abdomen
• MRI of the bones and joints
• MRI of the spinal cord
• MRI of the limbs and etc. 

Our equipment 

The new generation of magnetic resonance imaging equipment are performing large-scale examinations in the shortest possible periods. In contrast to the old generation of magnetic resonance tomographs, the latest generational devices require only 5-20 minutes for the examination.

Magnetom Aera 1.5 T has a GO Brain examination program for rapid analysis, which allows, with a touch of a single button, to perform a brain examination in multiple positions, with the use of contrast if necessary. The exclusive Whole-body diffusion program of the tomograph allows scanning the whole body of the patient from head to toe, performing a special examination on a patient with a tumor, and seeing all the active foci, the locations, and sizes of all the tumors at once, as well as evaluating the results of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, the MAGNETOM Vida 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging device finds and classifies patient’s existing conditions during the diagnosis, thereby helping the doctor to orientate and diagnose more quickly and accurately. With magnetic field power of 3 Tesla, great visibility, noticeably sharp images and ultra-precise conclusion, MAGNETOM Vida 3 Tesla provides exceptional quality and speed.

Thanks to a wide range of functions and programs, this device allows you to reduce the duration of the research by several times, reaching approximately to 10 minutes. The service works non-stop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
