MRI Scan
About MRI Scan
Overview
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a highly advanced diagnostic imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, organs, nerves, and joints—without using ionising radiation. MRI is especially valuable for evaluating conditions of the brain, spine, joints, muscles, and internal organs, where precision and clarity are critical.
Workflow
MRI services at Nano Hospitals follow a carefully structured, patient-safe workflow:
Step 1: Clinical Evaluation
The treating doctor assesses symptoms and determines the need for MRI imaging.
Step 2: Safety Screening
Patients are screened for metallic implants, devices, or conditions that may affect MRI safety.
Step 3: Image Acquisition
The patient lies comfortably on the MRI table while images are captured over a defined period.
Step 4: Image Processing & Review
High-resolution images are processed and interpreted by experienced radiologists.
Step 5: Clinical Correlation
Findings are shared with the treating specialist to guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
