MRI Scans

Detailed, non-invasive imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a powerful, non-invasive imaging tool that produces high-resolution, 3D images of internal body structures. Unlike X-rays, MRIs do not use radiation and are particularly effective for examining soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and spinal discs.

Conditions Diagnosed with MRI:

  • Joint and Ligament Injuries: ACL tears, meniscus injuries, and rotator cuff damage.

  • Spinal Disorders: Slipped discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression.

  • Soft Tissue Conditions: Tendinitis, muscle tears, and ligament strains.

  • Cartilage Damage: Osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint conditions.

  • Bone Conditions: Early detection of stress fractures or tumours.

Why Choose an MRI?

MRI scans are highly detailed and can identify issues that other imaging methods, like X-rays, cannot detect. For instance, an MRI can spot minor ligament tears or subtle spinal nerve compression that may cause persistent pain or dysfunction.

What to Expect During an MRI Scan

You’ll lie on a cushioned table that slides into a large, circular scanner.

  1. The machine uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture internal images.

  2. The procedure is painless but involves a low humming noise, so headphones are often provided.

  3. Duration: The scan usually takes between 20–60 minutes depending on the area being examined.

  4. Comfort Options: If you’re claustrophobic or unable to lie still, open or upright MRI options may be available.

How Soon Will I Get Results?

Results are typically reviewed by a radiologist and sent to your referring practitioner within 48 hours, enabling prompt diagnosis and treatment planning.
