What is an MRI scan?
During an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan a large, powerful magnet, radio waves and an advanced computer are used to take incredibly detailed images of the relevant part of your body. MRI has become widely used because the pictures are so detailed that the radiologist can see even tiny changes in your anatomy. This accuracy helps in the early detection of disease and injury, allowing effective treatment planning.
Injuries in which MRI may be used include:
- Joint injuries – Foot, ankle, knee, hip, spinal and shoulder
- Muscle injuries – Rotator Cuff, Bicep, Hamstring, Calf, Achilles
There are no known side effects of an MRI scan, and it is normally a pain-free procedure. Some people may not be able to have an MRI scan… Some issues that may prevent you being able to have an MRI include;
- You have a heart pacemaker
- You have had an operation to your brain or heart
- You have any type of metal implant
- You have had an injury to your eyes involving metal fragments
- You are, or might be pregnant
- You have a kidney problem
How long will it take to get the results of my MRI scan?
A Radiologist will examine the images from your scan, and the results will be normally be available within 24-48hrs.
You can book a follow-up appointment with your doctor or healthcare professional who referred you to discuss the results of the scan in detail and formulate a treatment plan.
