MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

An MRI is an advanced diagnostic imaging technique that produces high resolution, computerised images of the area of your body that needs to be scanned.

An MRI can take anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes to complete.

Our lovely bookings staff will confirm how long your scan may take when you make your booking.

No specific preparation is required.

You may and drink (unless you are having an abdominal MRI).

You may take your medicine as prescribed.

It is important to stay very still for your MRI so please take any prescribed pain medication prior to your appointment.

Jewellery and metal cannot be worn during your MRI. We recommend leaving any valuables at home.

You will be required to answer a safety questionnaire that will assess your suitability and safety for an MRI exam.

If you have a known implant i.e. stents, aneurysm clips etc and have any extra information about the implant please send it in or bring it in with you for appointment.

Medicare has certain rules regarding MRI refunds. Your fee, should there be any, will be quoted upon booking.

The referring doctor and any other doctor you would like to include in your treatment will receive a formal report (your results) in a timely fashion. Please make an appoinment with your Doctor to follow up your results.
