Most Frequently Performed MRI Examinations
Brain and Head MRI
Head magnetic resonance imaging is used for diagnosing headaches, dizziness, neurological symptoms, tumors, inflammatory and degenerative changes. The examination provides a detailed view of brain structures and blood vessels.
Spine MRI (Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar)
Spine MRI is most commonly performed for back pain, numbness of the extremities, disc herniation and degenerative changes. It enables precise visualization of discs, nerves and the spinal canal.
Knee and Other Joint MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee and joints is used in cases of injuries, pain, swelling and sports injuries. The examination shows ligaments, menisci, cartilage and soft tissues with high precision.
Abdominal and Pelvic MRI
This examination enables a detailed analysis of abdominal and pelvic organs, including the liver, pancreas, kidneys, prostate and reproductive organs. It is often used when inflammatory, tumor or vascular changes are suspected.
Whole Body MRI
Whole body MRI represents a modern preventive diagnostic method that enables examination of multiple organs in a single session. It is intended for individuals who want a comprehensive health assessment.
MRI for People with Claustrophobia
At the Life Scan center, magnetic resonance imaging is performed using a modern device with a wider opening, providing a more comfortable experience for individuals who have a fear of enclosed spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions About Magnetic Resonance Imaging
What is magnetic resonance imaging?
Magnetic resonance imaging is the most advanced diagnostic technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create images of internal structures in the human body without the use of ionizing radiation. It is used to diagnose tumors, inflammations, degenerative changes, injuries, vascular assessments, visualization of anatomical structures, and practically all parts of the body.
What can you expect during an MRI examination?
Imaging is completely painless and does not involve the use of ionizing radiation. It usually lasts up to 30 minutes, and longer in cases that require specific protocols or pathology evaluation. The examination is performed with the help of a team that ensures the patient feels comfortable throughout the procedure.
During the scan, radio waves are emitted based on signals generated by the body. The emission of these waves produces images that are displayed on the device monitor. During the examination, the patient lies on a movable table that slides into the magnet. It is important to remain still during imaging to ensure high-quality images. The technician will provide clear instructions and remain in constant contact with you throughout the procedure.
Some examinations require intravenous administration of contrast to obtain a more detailed image. It is important to remain calm and motionless during the scan, as movement can affect image quality and require repetition of part or the entire examination.
How long does an MRI examination take and do I have to lie still?
Thanks to our advanced Siemens Magnetom Sempra technology with artificial intelligence, most examinations last between 15–30 minutes, which is significantly shorter compared to older MRI devices. It is important to lie still during imaging, as movement may blur the images. Our staff will give you clear instructions and remain in constant contact with you during the procedure.
How should I prepare for an MRI examination?
It is very important for patients or their companions to inform us about any metal or electronic implants in the body (pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, cochlear implants, stents, surgical clips, plates, prostheses…) as well as any foreign metal objects in the body (bullets, metal fragments, etc.) before the examination.
Before the examination, patients can normally eat and drink (unless specific preparation is required for certain types of examinations) and may resume normal activities afterward. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing without metal parts. Before entering the MRI room, mobile phones, hairpins, keys, jewelry, credit cards, watches, hearing aids and other items must be removed.
Is the MRI examination painful?
MRI is completely painless and non-invasive. You will not feel the magnetic field or radio waves. The only sensation during imaging is hearing rhythmic knocking or humming sounds — this is completely normal. Our Siemens Magnetom Sempra device with AI technology operates more quietly than older devices, and patients are provided with protective headphones for additional comfort.
If I have claustrophobia – can I undergo MRI?
The Siemens Magnetom Sempra has a wider opening (70 cm) and a shorter tunnel compared to older devices, which significantly reduces the feeling of confinement. Additionally, scanning times are shorter (15–30 minutes). If needed, mild sedation can be provided in consultation with a physician. During the examination, you remain in constant contact with the technician via intercom.
Which MRI device is used at the Life Scan center?
Our center uses the latest-generation MRI device, Siemens Magnetom Sempra 1.5 Tesla, which features licensed Siemens software based on Deep Resolve artificial intelligence technology. AI improves image quality and reduces examination time.
Is MRI safe for health?
To date, there are no known harmful effects of magnetic resonance imaging, so it can be safely performed in pregnant women and children. MRI uses a strong magnetic field, unlike X-rays and CT scanners, which use ionizing radiation that can be harmful to the human body. If you have metal objects in your body, you must inform the staff. If necessary, the examination can be stopped at any time.
Can I undergo MRI if I have metal implants or fillings?
Dental fillings and crowns usually do not pose a problem. However, you must inform us about metal implants such as:
- Pacemaker or defibrillator
- Cochlear implants
- Metal plates, screws or prostheses
- Metal fragments in the eyes
Our team will assess whether it is safe to perform the examination based on the type and location of the metal object.
How can I receive my MRI report?
After interpretation, the report can be collected at the Life Scan diagnostic center or sent to your email address. Images are provided in digital format on a USB drive.
When will I receive the results and who interprets them?
MRI results are usually available within 2–3 working days in digital format and on CD. The images are interpreted by experienced radiologists with many years of experience who continuously improve their knowledge in the latest diagnostic methods.
Can pregnant women undergo MRI?
MRI is considered safe during pregnancy because it does not use ionizing radiation. However, as a precaution, MRI is usually avoided during the first trimester unless urgently necessary. Contrast agents are not administered to pregnant women. It is mandatory to inform our staff if you are pregnant or there is a possibility of pregnancy.
