Details.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of internal body structures without ionising radiation. MRI can visualise the brain, spinal cord, joints, muscles, heart, liver and kidneys, and help diagnose neurological disorders, musculoskeletal injuries and cardiovascular conditions. Most scans require no special preparation, but abdominal examinations require fasting for 8 hours. Bring your referral form, Medicare card, pension or concession card and any prior imaging. An intravenous gadolinium contrast injection may sometimes be required.
