The MRI machines at GIC are the best in the industry with 3 Tesla (highest magnet strength) and 48 Channels (maximum receiving power) to ensure the best of image quality, advanced applications, the fastest speed of scanning, and maximum patient comfort.

All parts of the body can be scanned with MRI, but it is most useful in the brain, spine, bones, joints and heart. It also has specific uses in other parts like the chest, abdomen and pelvis. For each part, there are specific indications or reasons for scanning. The referring doctor and the consultant radiologist are the best judges of the usefulness of MRI scanning in a specific situation and area

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced, modern technology that produces detailed pictures of the inside of the human body. MRI detects subtle differences between healthy and diseased tissues that cannot be visualized on a normal x-ray examination.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Make sure they do not have metal zippers, snaps or clasps. This will allow you to stay in your own clothes. The examination room is sometimes a little cool so you may want to wear warmer clothes like a sweat suit.

MRI allows us to exquisitely see different parts of the body. In the brain, it allows us to differentiate between different areas. In the spine, MRI is the only modality that allows us to see the spinal cord. In joints, MRI allows us to view the internal parts of the joints, including ligaments, tendons and menisci. It also allows the evaluation of various cardiac structures, as well as functional imaging of various parts of the brain.
MRI does all this by sectioning the body in different planes. Just as it is necessary to slice a loaf of bread to know the quality of the slices, so also, MRI allows us to section the body to view its inner parts. Thus, the skull X-ray only shows us the outer part, whereas MRI shows us the inner parts of the brain.
