MRI Scan | Albufeira


What is an MRI Scan?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a diagnostic scanning technique based on the principles of magnetic resonance. An MRI scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio frequency waves to produce detailed images of the internal organs and tissues. It can be used to investigate almost any part of the body and is most commonly used to examine the brain, joints and discs in the spine. No radiation is involved in an MRI scan.

FAQs about MRI Scan - Albufeira

Is An MRI Scan Safe?

An MRI scan is a painless procedure and there are no known risks or side effects associated with MRI.

Please consult your doctor and a Affidea staff member prior to your MRI if you are or may be pregnant or if you have had surgery recently, particularly surgery that has required the insertion of metal joint replacements or clips. The scan may have to be delayed slightly to allow time for the area around the surgical site to heal prior to your scan.

In what situations might I be unable to have an MRI scan?

Please also consult your doctor and a Affidea staff member if you have any of the following as it may not be possible to have an MRI scan:
- Certain aneurysm clips in your head
- Certain metallic heart valves
- A cardiac pacemaker
- Inner ear implants (e.g. Cochlear)
- Some neurological stimulators
- Metal fragments within your eye

Can I Have An MRI Scan If I Am Pregnant?

In general, an MRI will not be advised if you are or may be pregnant. Please inform your doctor and a Affidea staff member if you are or may be pregnant.

How Long Will An MRI Scan Take?

The length of the scan may also vary depending upon the diagnosis being sought, for example it often takes longer to produce high resolution images when very small anatomical structures are being scanned.

How Do I Get The Results?

The radiologist will write a report to your referring doctor detailing the findings from the scan.
