HYDERABAD IS NOW EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST MRI SYSTEM

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize detailed internal structures. MRI makes use of the property of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body. An MRI machine uses a powerful magnetic field to align the magnetization of some atoms in the body, and radio frequency fields to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization. This causes the nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic field detectable by the scanner—and this information is recorded to construct an image of the scanned area of the body.

More space means less anxiety....you'll love it......

A unique C-shaped magnet for easy positioning and a friendly, compact design create an atmosphere to put you at your ease. You always feel close to assistance.
If you are nervous a relative or friend can sit in the room whilst the scan is being performed (on their satisfactory completion of a safety questionnaire).
The scanner does make some noise whilst it is acquiring images and ear protection is provided. You may wish to bring your own CD or iPod that can be played to you during the scan. Many patients dose off during the scan.

The scan consists of several sets of images and the total scan time can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

What can MRI diagnose?
1)Brain or spinal abnormalities
2)Strokes in their earliest stages
3)Infections in the brain, spine or joints
4)Damaged ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bone
5)The wrist, knee, ankle, shoulder and other joints
6)Masses in the soft tissues of the body
7)“Slipped discs” (herniated) and other abnormalities of the spine
8)Heart (cardiac) abnormalities
Abnormalities of the blood vessels

These are but a few of the many of reasons to perform an MRI scan. The fact that MRI systems do not use ionizing radiation is a comfort to many patients, as is the fact that MRI contrast materials have a
very low incidence of side effects.

THIS MRI STUDIE'S:

1)MRI BRAIN (DIFFUSSION STUDY, ANGIOGRAPHY, STROKE PROTOCOL)

2)MRI SPINE (CERVICAL SPINE, DORSOL SPINE, LUMBAR SPINE, WHOLE SPINE)

3)MRI KNEE, SHOULDER, ANKLE, WRIST, ELBOW AND ANY OTHER JOINT)

4)MRI ABDOMEN, CHEST, PELVIS ETC.

CT -SCAN : BRAIN, PNS, NECK, CHEST, ABDOMEN, PELVIS, JOINTS & CONTRAST STUDIES.

What is the preparation for the exam?
There is virtually no preparation involved for the examination. No change in diet, meal times or medication is required. With MRI, there are no physical side effects either. You may drive yourself to and from the clinic with no need to alter your work schedule. We ask that you do not use cosmetics other than hairspray on exam day as these can affect the image acquisition. No metal is allowed in the MRI scan room. Therefore, we suggest our patients to wear or bring clothes that contain no metal (zippers, clasps, snaps, pins or metal buttons). A jogging suit with no zipper is ideal. Plan to arrive at the Diagnostic Imaging Center fifteen minutes prior to your appointment.
The open "C" shape design ensures that patients are comfortable and reduces the anxiety of claustrophobia patients can often feel when being scanned.
