M.R.I

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging modality particularly well suited to imaging the soft tissues of the human body, without the need for the ionizing radiation associated with modalities such as X-Ray, CT Scanning and Nuclear Medicine.

Using the inherent properties of the body, together with a strong magnetic field and radio-frequency pulses, images can be created in any plane with exceptional detail. The procedure itself is painless and generally takes between 30-40 minutes.

Here at Radar Medical Imaging, we have installed the only OPEN architecture MRI system of its kind in Australia, the Hitachi AIRIS II. The design of this system is ideal for claustrophobic, paediatric and larger patients who may not be able to tolerate conventional “tunnel” shaped MRI scanners
