Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan with 3 Tesla MRI machine
If you are looking for a reliable MRI scan in Dubai, choosing the right diagnostic center is essential for accurate results and peace of mind. In general, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan ) is a medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field together with computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues of body. At MRI Dubai , We use advanced 3tesla MRI Scan machine . 3 Tesla MRI Scan is the highest image quality and resolution in Dubai. This MRI scan machine is a large magnet with wide bore tube-shaped 3 Tesla Power magnet.
What is an MRI Scan?
An MRI scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs, tissues, bones, and joints. Unlike CT scans or X-rays, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for many patients.
MRI scan 3 Tesla is commonly used to evaluate:
Full body , Brain and spine conditions, Knee, shoulder, and joint injuries Muscle, ligament, and tendon tears Abdominal and pelvic organs Tumors, infections, and inflammation
In other words, when you lie inside the MRI scan machine, the magnetic field temporarily realigns water molecules in your body.
Accordingly, radio waves cause these aligned atoms to produce faint signals, that create cross-sectional MRI images — like slices.
Typically, It helps to diagnose disease such as lesions, tumor, cyst, swelling, aneurysms of blood vessels, multiple sclerosis, disorders of the eye , inner ear, spinal cord disorders, stroke, brain trauma. Moreover, this new 3 Tesla closed MRI scan machine in dubai can also produce 3D images from different angles.
Basically, each MRI scan takes time roughly 20-30 minutes but still varies according to clinical findings and Radiologist protocol for accurate diagnosis.
Why Choose an MRI Scan in Dubai?
Dubai is known for its high standards in medical care and advanced technology. Choosing an MRI scan in Dubai offers several benefits:
Advanced machines including 3 Tesla MRI for ultra-high-resolution imaging Experienced radiologists and technologists Fast appointment availability and quick reporting Comfortable and patient-friendly environments International quality standards and protocols
Our 3T MRI machine in Dubai has a larger magnet bore, which is suitable also for claustrophobic patients. This means patients with claustrophobia have more room and are less likely to request sedation. Larger patients will have an easier time getting a high-quality scan because they can fit into the MRI machine.
Preparation for MRI Scan
Before an MRI exam, eat normally and continue to take your usual medications unless your MRI scan is with contrast or you want to do Full body MRI.
Consult with your healthcare professional. You will typically be asked to change into a gown and remove metal things that might affect on the magnetic imaging, such as:
- Jewelry
- Hairpins
- Eyeglasses
- Watches
- Wigs
- Dentures
- Hearing aids
- Underwire bras
- Cosmetics that contain metal particles
Also, because MRI machine uses high Tesla magnets, if there is any metal in your body can be attracted to the magnet.
Even if not attracted to the magnet, metal objects can cause distortion and artifact on the MRI image, therefore, before having an MRI, you’ll likely complete a questionnaire consent form that includes whether you have metal or electronic devices in your body, Unless the device you have, is certified as MRI safe or MR compatible.
In some cases, a contrast material, typically gadolinium, will be injected through an intravenous (IV) line into a vein in your hand or arm. The contrast material enhances certain details. Gadolinium rarely causes allergic reactions.
In case of MRI with contrast, we do creatinine blood test result before scan. The creatinine blood test is mandatory before contrast injection as per DHA . It shows if the function of kidneys are normal, therefore, you will not encounter with any issue after injection. And only if the result is in the normal range, we can proceed for injection .
What you can expect during the MRI exam?
The MRI scan machine looks like a wide core tube that has both ends open. In fact, you lie down on a movable table that slides into the opening of the tube.
The Radiology technologist monitors you from another room. You can talk with the person by microphone, moreover ,you can listen to the music during the MRI procedure.
The MRI scan creates a strong magnetic field around you with directing radio waves at your body. The procedure is painless. You don’t feel the magnetic field or radio waves, and there are no moving parts around you.
If you are claustrophobic (fear of enclosed spaces) or anxious, you may ask your referral physician for a prescription of a mild sedative prior to your scheduled examination. Most people get through the exam without difficulty with this advanced wide bore MRI.
Typically ,an MRI can last from 20 minutes . You must hold still because movement can blur the resulting images.
MRI scan Results
you receive the CD of your images exactly after the procedure done. Likewise, the turnaround time for Closed MRI report is 24 hours. You receive all your MRI datas including images and reports through email the day after your MRI scan .
You will receive the radiology report through your email. In addition, your doctor will discuss important findings with you
