Specially designed for CLAUSTROPHOBIC patients.

Magnetic Resonance is a medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to generate accurate images of body structures in any plane and with high resolution. Therefore, it does NOT use X-rays, being a safe technique that allows repeated explorations throughout life, without problems. Even in pregnant women over 12 weeks.

However, when using a powerful magnetic field, it cannot be accessed by patients with some non-compatible device such as pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants … Although currently, due to the generalization of these tests, the industry is working successfully, in compatible devices, to that no patient see limited diagnostic tests.

Therefore, before entry, a compatibility and security questionnaire is carried out. There are two main types of equipment, HIGH FIELD, with high resolution and a diameter of 60 or 70cm and LOW FIELD (Open) that, although less powerful, allow this diagnostic test to be performed on patients with claustrophobia.
The equipment when working generates a noise, greater in high-field equipment, for your protection, helmets, plugs and even music are used. Sometimes it is necessary to use intravenous contrast, based on Gadolinium, safe and unrelated to iodine contrast. The risk of allergy is very low. However, it cannot be administered in patients with Severe Renal Failure.

In conclusion, MRI has nowadays become the most advanced and sensitive diagnostic technique in almost all types of pathologies.
