Additional Information

The Radiology Clinic has invested in a state of the art, wide bore 3T MRI machine to ensure our patients are receiving the highest quality diagnosis and are as comfortable while inside the machine as possible. The wide bore allows approximately 1m between the MRI bed and the machine, aimed to reduce feelings of claustrophobia.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a non-invasive, advanced test that creates detailed images of the bodily structures using a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves. MRI produces 3D images that can be viewed from several angles, ensuring accurate and advanced diagnosis.

MRI is most used to detect joint issues, spinal cord or disc issues, bone infections, tumours or irregularities in the internal organs and brain injury or stroke. Sometimes, the use of Gadolinium dye may be required to enhance the images.

As MRI relies on a magnetic field, the presence of metal in or around your body can be a safety hazard, or a hazard to image quality. Unless the metal/device you have is MRI safe, you may not be an eligible candidate for this test. Some examples include:

Pacemakers, loop recorders or defibrillators

  • Implanted drug infusion pumps

  • Implanted nerve stimulators

  • Cochlear Implants

  • Shrapnel or bullet fragments

  • Metal pins, screws, plates or surgical staples

If you have any of the listed medical devices and you have been referred for an MRI, please let us know so we can determine whether it is safe to proceed.

Please ensure you let us know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before your appointment.
