The anatomy of the tongue is well demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On axial T1-weighted images, fat with high signal intensity can be seen between the muscles of intermediate signal intensity. Genioglossus is the largest of all the tongue muscles and forms the bulk of the tongue.

MRI VENOGRAPHY (MRV)

A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a large magnet, radio frequencies and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. An MRV uses magnetic resonance technology and intravenous (IV) contrast dye to visualise the veins.

Test Preparation:

Male/Female: No Special Preparation. Informed Consent Required. 

Reporting TAT: Same Day* 

MRI Whole Spine Screening

A whole spine MRI scan is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure. It uses large equipment capable of creating magnetic fields and radio waves to produce an accurate and clear image of your spine. In addition, the scan image also includes your spinal cord, discs, muscles and other soft tissues in the area.

Test Preparation:

Male/Female: Urea & Creatinine blood test reports are required.  

Reporting TAT: Same Day* 

MRI Brain with Epilepsy Protocol 

It is a painless and non-invasive test that uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to make highly detailed images of the brain. The scan identifies areas of brain lesions and blood vessel abnormalities. A contrast agent helps provide a clearer image of the area.

Test Preparation:

Male/Female: Urea & Creatinine blood test reports are required. 

Reporting TAT: Same Day*

MRI Brain with Spectroscopy Study  

Magnetic resonance (MR) Spectroscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic test for measuring biochemical changes in the brain, especially the presence of tumors.

Reporting TAT: Same Day* 

MRI Dorsal-Lumbar (DL) Spine

MRI Dorsal-Spine is used to see the middle part of the spine to detect various disorders such as congenital deformities of the dorsal spine, diseases of intervertebral discs, nerve compression, and infections of the spine including tumours in the area.

MRI Mammography (also known as MRI Breast)

The scan creates high-resolution images of the inside of the breast. A contrast agent is used for better visualisation of the internal structures. It allows the doctor to screen for breast cancer in women at increased risk, staging of known cancer, and evaluating the response to chemotherapy.

MRI Prostate

MRI provides information on how water molecules and blood flow through the prostate. This helps determine whether cancer is present and, if so, whether it is aggressive and if it has spread.

Test Preparation:

Male: Urea and Creatinine blood test reports are required.  

Reporting TAT: Same Day* 

Specialisation(s): Prostate

Mri of Upper / Lower Abdomen

The MRI scan creates images of the different organs in the abdomen, such as the bladder, uterus, ovaries and prostate. The images can provide greater clarity on the presence of, for example, cysts, tumours or inflammation.

MRI Whole-Body Diffusion

Whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DWI-MRI) is an emerging tool that has an increasing role in the diagnosis of metastasis and lymphoma. This is a longitudinal study in actual clinical settings designed to assess WB-DWI-MRI in the detection of tumour spread.
