What it shows

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to build finely detailed images of the brain, spine, joints and internal organs - with no ionising radiation.

  • Brain & spine
  • Joints & sports injuries
  • Abdomen & pelvis
  • MR angiography
  • Soft-tissue evaluation

Your examination

What to expect, step by step

  1. 01

    Check in with your doctor's prescription and any previous imaging or reports.

  2. 02

    Complete a short MRI safety questionnaire; metal items stay outside the magnet room.

  3. 03

    You lie on the scan table. The machine makes loud rhythmic knocking sounds - hearing protection is provided.

  4. 04

    Staying still is the most important part. Our team watches throughout and can speak with you between sequences.

  5. 05

    A radiologist reviews the images and prepares your report; collection details are confirmed at the desk.

Preparation

Before you come

Most MRI studies need no fasting or special preparation. Specific studies - such as some abdominal or contrast examinations - carry extra instructions, shared with you when you book.

Collection

  • Secure digital access to your images and report

Discussing findings

The reporting radiologist can discuss findings with your referring doctor - ask at the desk and we will arrange it.

Safety & screening

MRI is a very well-established examination, but the strong magnet means screening matters for every patient, every time.

  • Tell us in advance about pacemakers, implants, surgical clips, stents, cochlear devices, neurostimulators or any metal fragments - and bring your implant card or surgical notes if you have them.
  • Tell our team if you are, or might be, pregnant. MRI in pregnancy is performed only when your doctor considers it clinically justified.
  • Some studies use gadolinium contrast. Kidney function and any previous reactions are reviewed before injection.
  • If enclosed spaces make you anxious, mention it when booking - our team will explain the examination and help you through it.

Questions

Asked before every MRI scan

No - the scan itself is painless. The main task is staying still. The machine is loud, so hearing protection is provided.

Many implants are MRI-compatible, some need specific precautions, and a few rule the scan out. Always tell us in advance and bring your implant documentation - every patient is screened before entering the magnet room.

Only for certain studies. If contrast is advised for your examination, the team explains why and reviews your kidney function and allergy history first.

An attendant can usually wait close by. Anyone entering the magnet room must clear the same metal-safety screening you do.

For most MRI studies, yes - no fasting is needed. Some abdominal and contrast examinations are exceptions, and those instructions are confirmed with you when you book.

MRI reports are typically ready within 60 minutes of scan completion, and your images and report are available through secure digital access. If your doctor is waiting on an urgent answer, tell us - urgent studies are prioritised.
