MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is an imaging procedure that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. It works without X-rays. The magnetic fields cause hydrogen atoms in the body to be aligned. Radio waves change this alignment and the returned signals are converted into images by the computer.
MRI can be used to examine the skull, spine, all joints and soft tissue. In special cases, it is used to clarify diseases in the chest and abdomen. We also use MRI to carry out special examinations of the female breast and prostate. The duration of the examination is between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the problem.
Some questions require the administration of a special MRI contrast agent. The MRI contrast agent differs fundamentally from CT contrast agents. For some joint examinations, e.g. of the shoulder, the contrast agent is injected directly into the joint by the doctor under fluoroscopy. For other examinations, intravenous administration of the contrast agent may be necessary.
If you suffer from claustrophobia ("claustrophobia") or fear other problems during the examination, you can inspect our MRI machines at any time beforehand and ask any important questions.
