Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves, with no ionising radiation, to produce highly detailed images of soft tissue, joints, the spine and the brain. Our new Siemens scanner delivers high-resolution imaging with specialised musculoskeletal sequences, reported by Dr Kong.
What to expect
- Reception checks your referral and screens you for any metal implants or devices before you enter the scan room.
- You lie still on the scan table while the scanner captures each sequence — most studies take 20 to 45 minutes.
- The scanner is noisy while it images; we provide headphones or earplugs for comfort.
- Your study is reported by our radiologist and sent to your referring doctor.
How to prepare
- Bring your referral, Medicare card and any prior imaging or films.
- Tell us in advance if you have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, aneurysm clip or any metal in your body — some implants are not MRI-safe.
- Wear comfortable clothing free of metal zips, studs and underwire where possible.
Rebateable MRI scans are bulk billed. Non-rebateable studies are a flat $315 — reception will confirm which applies when you book.
