A doctor’s referral is not required for an MRI at our practice. You can book on your own.
We recommend bringing all relevant medical documentation. This may include previous reports, lab results, discharge summaries or prior imaging.
With this information, the radiologist gets a clearer picture of your condition and can interpret the MRI more accurately.
📄 Documentation: previous reports and images
📞 Booking: 021-472-9970

You receive the MRI report within 2 working days after the exam.
You can collect it in person, we can send it by post, or by other arrangement if needed.
The report includes:
📀 CD with images
📝 Written report from the radiologist

Yes. After the exam you can request a consultation with the radiologist about the report.
Simply ask the receptionist, who will arrange it. In most cases the discussion can be by phone, or in person at the practice if needed.

On arrival, the receptionist takes your medical documentation and will ask you to fill in a short form about any contraindications for MRI. The technician then takes you to a changing room where you leave personal items and metal objects, then to the scan room. During the exam you lie on a movable table that goes into the scanner tunnel.
🎧 During the scan you will hear the typical louder sounds of the machine; this is normal
📹 The technician can see and hear you at all times via the audio system and through a window in front of the scanner

Duration depends on the area being scanned and the type of exam, but most MRI exams take between 10 and 30 minutes. It is important to lie still during this time so the images are as clear as possible. For more complex exams or when several sequences are needed, the exam may take a bit longer.
⏱ Average exam duration: 10–30 minutes
🧠 For more complex exams, scanning may take a bit longer

MRI does not use ionizing radiation. It is based on a strong magnetic field and radio waves, which is why the method is considered very safe. That is why MRI is often used for follow-up exams and monitoring of various conditions.
☢ X-ray radiation is not used
✔ The method is considered safe for patients

Contrast is not used for all MRI exams. In some cases it is part of the exam protocol; in others the physician decides whether contrast is needed based on the indication and your medical documentation. Contrast is given intravenously during the exam and helps to show certain structures and changes more clearly.
💉 Contrast is given only when medically indicated
✔ At our practice, contrast is included in the exam price even when it is not part of the standard protocol

Contrast agents used in MRI are considered safe for most patients. Adverse reactions are very rare and usually mild. Before the exam, staff will check for any factors that could be a contraindication to contrast.
✔ Contrast is safe for most patients
⚠ Reactions are very rare, and staff are trained to respond if needed

We use the Siemens MAGNETOM Avanto 1.5T, an MRI system from the renowned manufacturer Siemens. We also use advanced AI software that improves image quality and allows shorter scan times.
Thanks to this technology, exams at our practice can be up to 50% shorter while maintaining high image quality.
🧠 High image quality for accurate diagnosis
⏱ Shorter scan times and greater comfort for patients

We use advanced AI software for processing MRI images. It reduces noise and artefacts in the images, improving quality even with faster scanning.
It is important to note that AI is used only to improve image quality; all medical conclusions and diagnoses are made by the radiologist.
🧠 AI helps shorten exam time and improve image quality
👩‍⚕ The radiologist writes the reports and makes all medical conclusions

MRI and computed tomography (CT) are different diagnostic methods, each with its own advantages. CT uses X-ray radiation and is often used in emergencies or for imaging bones and lungs. MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves and gives very detailed images of soft tissues such as the brain, spine and organs.
☢ CT uses X-ray radiation, while MRI does not use ionizing radiation
👩‍⚕ Your physician decides which method is most suitable

For most MRI exams no special preparation is needed. However, for certain exams (e.g. abdominal MRI) additional preparation may be required; you will be informed when booking or on the Services page.
📞 For more information you can call 021-472-9970
📋 Check whether your exam requires special preparation

In most cases you can eat and drink normally before an MRI. However, for some exams (e.g. abdominal MRI) special preparation may be needed, including not eating for several hours before the scan.
You will be informed when booking if your exam requires special preparation.
🍽 For most MRI exams there is no need to restrict food
📞 For specific exams you will get special instructions when booking

Yes. Before entering the scan room you must remove all metal objects, as they can affect the magnetic field and image quality.
For this reason you will be instructed before the exam to leave personal items in the changing room.
⚠ Remove jewellery, watch, piercings, hearing aid, coins and cards
👕 Comfortable clothing without metal parts is recommended

MRI is safe in most cases, but certain medical devices or metal implants may be a contraindication. People with severe claustrophobia may also find the exam difficult. So it is important to inform staff before booking if you have an implant, metal foreign body or have had surgery.
⚠ Pacemakers, defibrillators, some aneurysm clips and ferromagnetic foreign bodies can be a contraindication
✔ Most modern surgical implants are not ferromagnetic and are not a problem
In many cases MRI is still possible with implants, but the exact type must be checked. If in doubt, we recommend consulting your referring physician or calling us on 021-472-9970 for more information.

The MRI exam takes place in a tunnel about 60 cm in diameter. Although the space is open at both ends, being in the tunnel during the exam can be uncomfortable for people with claustrophobia. During the scan the technician monitors you via the audio and video system, and you can contact them at any time if you feel unwell.
👣 If needed, you can enter feet first, which makes the exam easier for many patients
👥 A companion can be present during the scan, and light sedation may be possible on medical advice

The MRI scanner has a tunnel about 60 cm in diameter, open at both ends. Most patients can have the exam without difficulty, but for people with higher body weight or severe claustrophobia the space may feel somewhat tight. The movable table has a maximum load of 150 kg.
📏 MRI tunnel diameter: about 60 cm
⚖ Maximum table load: 150 kg
If you are unsure whether the exam is possible, we recommend contacting us before booking for more information.

Yes, MRI can be performed in children. Since MRI does not use ionizing radiation, it is considered a safe and painless imaging method. For very young children, light sedation is sometimes needed so the child stays still during the exam, which can last 20–60 minutes.
👨‍👩‍👧 A parent can be with the child during the scan
👩‍⚕ For any sedation, you should first consult a paediatrician

MRI does not use ionizing radiation and is considered a safe imaging method. However, during pregnancy the exam is performed only when medically necessary and on a doctor’s recommendation.
🤰 MRI is considered safe in pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimester
⚠ In the first trimester the exam is done only when medically justified

Yes. The patient can have a companion during the MRI if they wish. The companion can be a parent, partner or friend and can stay in the scan room during the exam.
Before entering the room, the companion must also remove all metal objects because of the strong magnetic field of the MRI scanner.
