About the scan

What is an MRI Scan?

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a painless, non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of internal organs, soft tissues, and structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for repeated imaging.

MRI scans are especially useful for diagnosing conditions related to the brain, spine, joints, muscles, heart, and abdomen with exceptional clarity and detail.

At VJ Scans & Labs in Chennai, our 1.5 Tesla MRI system ensures crystal-clear images with shorter scan times, advanced safety features, and a comfortable experience for every patient.

Steps Involved During the MRI Scan

First

The patient lies down on a table that slides into a large and comfortable tube, open at both ends. Next, radio waves are used to scan the patient's body.

Second

During this time, the machine makes tapping, buzzing and banging sounds. This is normal. We offer patients earplugs to dampen the noise.

Third

An examination can take 30 to 60 minutes, based on what part is scanned. The patient may have to lie entirely still in batches of 10 minutes to produce accurate scans.

Fourth

In some exams, you may be asked to hold your breath for a brief period. This becomes necessary when breathing or patient motion blurs the images.

Fifth

An MRI scan is completely painless and thoroughly safe. There is a microphone in the MRI machine. A patient can use it to speak to the technician at any point during the scan.

Frequently Asked Questions

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of organs, tissues, and bones inside your body. Unlike CT scans, MRI does not use radiation.

Yes, MRI is very safe and does not use any ionizing radiation. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves. However, you should inform us if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, or are pregnant.

Most MRI scans take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being examined. Some specialized scans may take longer. You'll need to lie still during the scan for the best image quality.

Some MRI scans require a contrast agent (usually gadolinium-based) to be injected into your vein to enhance the images. Your doctor will inform you if contrast is needed for your specific scan.

Remove all metal objects including jewelry, watches, and hairpins. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal fasteners. Inform us about any implants, claustrophobia, or pregnancy. Specific preparation depends on the scan type.

If you have claustrophobia, please inform us when booking. We can provide relaxation techniques, and in some cases, mild sedation may be arranged. Our modern MRI machines are more open and less confining than older models.

It depends on the type of metal. Most surgical implants are MRI-safe, but pacemakers, certain metal implants, or metallic foreign bodies may be contraindications. Please provide a complete list of any implants or previous surgeries.

The cost varies depending on the type of MRI scan and whether contrast is used. Please contact our reception for specific pricing information. We accept various insurance plans and offer competitive rates.
