MRI Pelvis Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a combination of a strong magnetic field and radio-waves create a detailed image of the body. The technique does not use any ionizing radiation. The overall examination time is approximately 30-60minutes. Each individual scan is in the order of 2-4 minutes. The image quality is maximised if you can remain as still as possible during each of these 2-4 minute scans. An injection of Gadolinium MRI contrast and/or a smooth muscle relaxant is sometimes required during the examination. It is not possible to use MRI for some patients, for example if you have a pacemaker. You will be asked to complete a questionnaire similar to the one below prior to your scan. If you have answered yes to one of the following questions please contact the centre where you are due to have your scan, or ring The Imaging Clinic for further advice. |
