Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Tests
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a unique procedure that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to take images of the inside of a human body.
It is a painless procedure which offers your physician unprecedented detailed images of the human body without using ionizing radiation. Typically an MRI takes 20-30 minutes. We can perform MRIs on:
- brain
- breast

- liver
- lumbar spine
- MRCP
- pelvis
- shoulder
- thoracic spine
- wrist
