Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnetic fields and harmless low energy radio waves (similar to those used by FM radio stations) to look inside your body. It is an excellent way of obtaining fine detail and highly diagnostic images without using x-rays. While technically very complex, the examination itself is very straightforward for you.

For this non-invasive and painless procedure, you will be asked to lie on a padded table. Once comfortable you will be moved slowly into the middle of the scanner. The MRI is open at both ends and you will be able to communicate with the MRI Technician at all times.
You will hear a regular rhythmic tapping sound as the machine is scanning which may last from several seconds to a few minutes.
We will provide earphones so that you can listen to your favourite music during the scans. You are welcome to bring your own CD.
 

It is best to allow 60 minutes, however, the time taken varies depending on the part of the body to be scanned.
 

• Eat and drink normally before and after the scan unless we tell you differently.
• Continue any medication already prescribed by your doctor.
• We suggest you wear comfortable clothes without zips, but we have gowns available to change into if required.
• You are welcome to have a family member or friend with you during the scan.
• Some patients with severe claustrophobia require sedation. If you think this may be the case, please arrange someone to drive you home.
   

Although MRI is a safe procedure, there are some precautions you need to know about. Because the MRI scanner uses a strong magnetic field to pick up the images, patients who have metal implants or electronic devices need to notify the specialist or technologist beforehand.

You will be asked to complete a safety questionnaire prior to your scan.
You must let us know if you are pregnant or think you may be.

We provide a lockup box for your jewellery, keys and other personal items, including credit cards and cellphones.
 

Medical sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic medical imaging technique used to visualize muscles, tendons, and many internal organs, their size, structure and any pathological lesions with real time tomographic images. Obstetric sonography is commonly used to visualize a foetus during routine and emergency prenatal care.

Ultrasound scans are performed by medical health care professionals called Sonographers. Ultrasound has been used to image the human body for at least 50 years and is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern medicine.
