MRI
Health screening can feel a bit stressful if it’s your first time. The process may be different for everyone, depending on what is included in the screening package. It can take 3-4 hours or even a whole morning or afternoon. Here are some important guidelines to help you prepare and get the best results from your screening
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
What is an MRI?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a diagnostic method that uses the magnetic properties of substances in the body to create detailed images through computer reconstruction. It does not use radiation, making it a non-invasive way to detect changes and identify diseases early.
Test Procedure
- If you have any metallic or magnetic items, please remove them before the MRI scan.
- Due to noise during the scan, earplugs and music will be provided. To ensure accurate results, please stay as still as possible during the test.
- The scan usually takes 20 minutes to over an hour.
When MRI Scans May Not Be Possible
-
MRI scans may not be possible if you have any of the following:
- Heart surgery (such as a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator)
- Metal fragments in the eye
- Metal aneurysm clips in the brain (from brain aneurysm surgery)
- Claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces)
- Hearing aids or cochlear implants
- If you have any of these or similar conditions, please consult with us in advance.
