What to expect
During your MRI, you will lie comfortably on a table that gently moves into the scanner. Remaining still is important, and for some scans you may be asked to hold your breath briefly. To minimise noise, we provide earplugs and a headset for your comfort.
Some MRI examinations require a contrast injection (gadolinium) to enhance image detail and help identify subtle findings. Reactions are uncommon, and our experienced team completes thorough safety checks before administering contrast to ensure your wellbeing. All contrast studies are performed under radiologist supervision.
If you experience claustrophobia, please let us know at the time of booking. Our modern, wide-bore scanners, spacious rooms, and calming sky and wall panels are designed to create a more relaxed experience. Our team is highly experienced in supporting anxious patients, and in many cases sedation is not required.

At your appointment you will be sent an SMS inviting you to create your account. Your images are then available 1-2 hours after your appointment. Your results require time to be reviewed and will not be available immediately. Once finalised, they will be sent to your referring doctor.
We highly recommend that you return to your referring doctor to discuss your results
