Department of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The state-of-the-art MRI device with which the MRI department is equipped is one of the leading MRI diagnostic imaging units. Produces cross-sectional images in each orientation (tomographs), depicting with great accuracy the internal structure of the human body.

Advantages of a CT scanner:
Due to the strength of the magnetic field (1.5 Tesla) it is capable of producing high definition images of excellent diagnostic quality, in any part of the body. The design of the magnet is very friendly to the examinee due to the very compact construction. Facilitates examinations of young children and multiple injured.

Convenience of the examinee:
The comfortable approach of the examinee is allowed, as well as the stay of the attendant near him. Also, due to the compact size of the magnet in many examinations such as knee, lower extremities and pelvis, the examinee's head is outside the tunnel resulting in a more comfortable stay .

Examinations performed:
Equipped with all modern sequences and state-of-the-art software programs, the MRI performs all the basic and specialized MRI examinations in a significantly limited execution time and extremely high diagnostic accuracy.

Examinations with sequences and techniques of rapid acquisition and high resolution of the whole body and spine
Respiratory movement detection and correction system in chest and abdomen examinations to prevent artifacts from body movements.
Unique 3D sequences for joints and acoustic pores.
Advanced tests with diffusion sequences for the brain:
MRI of the brain and spinal cord with contrast
The examination is included in the prescribed examinations of EOPYY (the examinee pays only 15% of the examination).

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( f MRI) of the Brain
It is a modern non-invasive method of mapping the brain that locates and studies centers of critical functions for humans such as e.g. speech and memory. It is also suitable for children. The image is produced by the execution of specific commands by the patient (movement of a hand, speech, etc.). In combination with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DTI) it is a key tool for preoperative assessment of patients suffering from lesions near important centers of the brain.

(The examination is not included in the prescribed examinations of EOPYY)

Brain Magnetic Spectroscopy ( MR Spectroscopy)
It is a modern method for assessing the metabolic activity of the brain, allowing the characterization of pathological foci (tumors, demyelinating foci, inflammation and other diseases).

(The examination is not included in the prescribed examinations of EOPYY)

Magnetic angiography and flow control in all vessels of the body and brain with three-dimensional reconstruction
(The examination is included in the prescribed examinations of EOPYY (the examinee pays only 15% of the examination).

Breast MRI with dynamic analysis of contrast uptake.
(The examination is included in the prescribed examinations of EOPYY (the examinee pays only 15% of the examination).

MRI of the Heart
Cardiac MRI has been recognized in recent years as an extremely useful test for many cardiovascular diseases, as it provides information in a unique way on both the anatomy and the function of the heart.

Cardiac MRI is useful in a significant number of conditions such as:

In the assessment of tissue damage after a heart attack.
In aortic problems such as aneurysm, or stenosis.
In diseases of the pericardium such as compressive pericarditis.
In cardiomyopathies.
In the differential diagnosis of heart tumors.
In congenital (congenital) abnormalities of the heart.
In the assessment of valvular diseases: eg such as valve stenosis and insufficiency.
Other diseases of the heart muscle such as arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right abdomen, amyloidosis, etc.
In Cosmos Medicine, a magnetic resonance imaging of the heart is performed on a high-standard MRI scanner, under the supervision of a specialized cardiologist.

Multiparametric Prostatic MRI
It combines special anatomical and functional techniques to obtain that information about the prostate gland, which plays an important role in the detection and staging (calculation of extent) of glandular cancer. P. it proposes especially in patients with high value PSA and negative prostate biopsy.

(The examination is not included in the prescribed examinations of EOPYY)

Duration of MRI:

To examine a part of the body (scan) the duration does not exceed 20 minutes.
It takes proportionately more minutes to scan more parts of the body.
Depending on the diagnosis requested by the treating physician, the length of time an examination lasts varies.
What happens during the test:

The patient is placed on a table, finding the most convenient position for him.
He is given an alarm button so he can contact the doctor immediately.
During the examination he hears loud repetitive sounds, which stop and start again. While if he wishes, he can listen to music through headphones.
The machine is open at both ends.
Intravenous infusion of a contrast agent may be necessary.
