The MRI in Bucharest (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a noninvasive procedure that generates high-quality images without exposing the patient to radiation. It provides a detailed picture of the internal structures of the body, making it an excellent tool for the diagnosis of medical problems and determining the best treatment options. Unlike CT scans, MRI does not expose the patient to radiation and does not have any known side effects.

Before an MRI examination, you will be asked to remove all metal objects, including hearing aids and cell phones, because they may create artifacts that interfere with the quality of the exam. A physician may need to inject you with a contrast agent to improve the quality of some images. The injection is not painful.

Preparing for Your MRI in Bucharest: A Step-by-Step Guide

You will lie on a table that is moved into the opening of the scanner. The technologist who carries out the investigation is in an adjoining room and will be able to communicate with you at all times. If you are claustrophobic, we can give you earplugs or headphones playing music to help you relax. We also offer special sedation for children and anxious patients.

If you have a pacemaker or other ferromagnetic implant, we cannot perform the test because the magnetic field can cause these devices to move. In this case, you should ask your doctor about an alternative to MRI such as ultrasound. It is also not recommended to undergo an MRI during the first trimester of pregnancy, because it can influence the development of the fetus.
