MRI Scan in Czechia

Digital X-ray imaging for bone and joint assessment.

An MRI of the abdomen that images the liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, biliary tree and surrounding soft tissue in detail without radiation. Altoa arranges this through its imaging pathway as a complement to abdominal ultrasound when finer soft-tissue characterisation is needed, booking and escorting you to an accredited partner facility. A radiologist interprets the study and issues a written report, which the coordinating physician can review with you.

A focused MRI of the brain, often arranged through Altoa for clients investigated within its neurology pathway, where an MRI is performed if the neurologist's examination indicates one. Brain MRI gives high-contrast images of brain tissue, ventricles and vessels without radiation, and is the standard imaging for headache, neurological symptoms and follow-up of known findings. Altoa books and escorts you to an accredited partner facility and returns a radiologist's report.

A magnetic resonance imaging scan booked through Altoa's express pathway for clients who already have a referral. MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves — no ionising radiation — to produce detailed cross-sectional images of soft tissue, organs, joints and the nervous system. You select the region, upload your referral and pay online; an Altoa coordinator confirms an appointment within two business days at an accredited partner facility and escorts you on the day, with same-region reporting handled by the partner radiologist.

An MRI of the spine — cervical, thoracic or lumbar — frequently arranged within Altoa's orthopedics pathway, where the orthopedist orders MRI if examination indicates it. Spine MRI shows discs, vertebrae, the spinal cord and nerve roots in detail without radiation, and is the standard imaging for back pain, sciatica, suspected disc herniation and nerve compression. Altoa books and escorts you to an accredited partner facility and returns a radiologist's written report.

An independent expert interpretation of an MRI scan you have already had, carried out by a certified radiologist at První radiologická. MRI produces highly detailed images of soft tissue, the brain, spinal cord, joints and internal organs using magnetic fields and radio waves rather than ionising radiation. A second opinion is valuable when a diagnosis is uncertain, when you want reassurance before a medical decision, or when you are seeking clarity on findings reported at another centre. You submit your existing scan images electronically and receive a structured written radiological report from an experienced Czech radiologist — without leaving home, without another appointment, and without repeating the scan itself.

Contrast agent for enhanced MRI imaging when medically indicated.

Detailed MRI scan of knee joint for ligament, cartilage, and meniscus assessment.

MRI scan of cervical or lumbar spine section.

MRI scan of shoulder joint for rotator cuff and labrum assessment.

MRI examination of one body part using Esaote S-scan. Ideal for joints and spine imaging.

MRHK is a private, open-magnet MRI practice in Hradec Králové run by a certified radiologist using an Esaote low-field scanner to examine all major joints and all segments of the spine. The open architecture makes the experience far less claustrophobic than a conventional closed-bore tunnel scanner, and the clinic is entirely self-pay — meaning no referral is required and appointments are available within five working days, months ahead of the public hospital waiting list. You receive your digital images (USB or CD) before leaving and the written radiologist report by email within two working days. The service covers knees, hips, shoulders, ankles, wrists and elbows, as well as cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine — everything musculoskeletal except brain, abdomen and contrast-enhanced studies.

Magnetic resonance angiography without contrast.

Non-contrast MR angiography using time-of-flight technique. Evaluates intracranial or peripheral arterial circulation without radiation or iodinated contrast injection.

Sportovní Klinika coordinates priority access to MRI scans through its network of more than 80 medical specialists, securing appointments within 72 hours for athletes who cannot wait on the public healthcare list. The clinic charges a coordination fee (3,000 Kč for 72-hour access, 2,000 Kč for 10-day access) and handles the booking and referral paperwork; the scan is performed at a partner imaging centre. A dedicated phone line (+420 774 441 314) is available for imaging appointments. This service is particularly valuable following acute sports injuries where imaging findings directly determine whether conservative rehabilitation or surgical intervention is the appropriate path.

Diagnostic MRI at Multiscan Pardubice is performed on two Siemens scanners — a 1.5T Magnetom Avanto Fit and a premium 3T Magnetom Skyra with a wide 70 cm bore — covering brain and neurological studies, abdominal organs, prostate, breast, enterography and spine examinations. The 3T scanner delivers superior soft-tissue contrast compared with standard 1.5T units, making it particularly valuable for complex neurological, oncological and prostate imaging. Self-pay and international patients are coordinated through Altoa Medical Tourism, the centre's dedicated partner for non-insured visitors. Scans run 20–50 minutes depending on the protocol, with results forwarded directly to the referring physician and a free printed copy available at reception with ID.

MRI of the spine at the Radiodiagnostic Department of Vojenská nemocnice Olomouc covers all three segments — cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back) and lumbar (lower back) — in dedicated examinations without ionising radiation. Spine MRI is the diagnostic standard for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, disc herniation, spinal stenosis and nerve root compression, providing direct visualisation of intervertebral discs, the spinal cord, nerve roots and surrounding soft tissues at a level of detail unavailable with X-ray or ultrasound. Self-pay patients book without a referral. A written radiologist report is included with every examination.

Magnetic resonance imaging at the Radiodiagnostic Department of Vojenská nemocnice Olomouc covers all standard clinical indications — neurological, musculoskeletal, abdominal, pelvic and vascular — without ionising radiation. The department operates within a full-service military hospital in central Olomouc, with specialist radiologists reporting every examination. Self-pay patients can book without a referral and receive a written report on the day or shortly after the scan. The hospital's broad clinical base means that any significant finding can be followed up directly with the relevant specialist department.

A dedicated magnetic resonance scan of the brain at the Radiodiagnostic Department of Vojenská nemocnice Olomouc. Brain MRI produces high-contrast images of the cerebral cortex, white matter, basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem, ventricles and vascular structures without any radiation exposure. It is the diagnostic standard for persistent headache, dizziness, memory decline, neurological symptoms and follow-up of previously identified findings. Self-pay patients at the Olomouc military hospital can book without a GP referral and receive a written report from an accredited specialist radiologist. Integration within a full acute-care hospital allows immediate specialist follow-up if the scan reveals a significant finding.

Poliklinika Sever operates a hospital-grade MRI unit on the ground floor of Main Entrance A, managed by radiologist MUDr. Šustr Karel. Magnetic resonance imaging uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves — no radiation — to produce high-resolution cross-sectional images of soft tissues, joints, the brain, spine, and abdominal organs. The polyclinic setting means MRI results can be directly reviewed by the on-site specialist outpatient teams: neurology, orthopaedics, surgery, and gynaecology all operate in the same building, allowing same-day consultations when scheduling allows. Self-pay bookings are accepted alongside insured patients, making this a practical option for medical tourists and expatriates needing detailed imaging without a long wait. Pricing is confirmed on booking — contact the clinic by phone for current self-pay rates.

Brain MRI at Klinika Dr. Pírka is performed on a Siemens Magnetom Sola 1.5T scanner in the hospital's purpose-built imaging pavilion, opened May 2023. The department is led by MUDr. Zuzana Ryznarová, Ph.D., who supervises all head and neck imaging protocols. A brain MRI at 1.5T produces detailed, high-contrast images of brain parenchyma, white matter tracts, ventricular system, cerebellum, and brainstem, and is the standard investigation for headaches, neurological symptoms, suspected stroke, dizziness, or memory concerns. The clinic serves both self-pay patients and those referred by neurologists or GPs, with priority scheduling available for private patients. Being embedded within a full multi-specialty hospital means neurology and orthopaedic consultants are available on the same site to review findings and plan next steps without the patient needing to travel.

Klinika Dr. Pírka operates a Siemens Magnetom Sola 1.5T scanner in its dedicated MRI imaging pavilion, opened May 2023 — one of the most advanced mid-field systems available in the Central Bohemia region. Under the direction of MUDr. Zuzana Ryznarová, Ph.D., the department performs the full spectrum of musculoskeletal and soft-tissue MRI: all peripheral joints (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, elbow), soft tissue masses, and ligament or tendon injuries. The closed-bore 1.5T magnet delivers higher signal-to-noise than lower-field open systems, producing sharper images of cartilage, menisci, and rotator cuff structures. Self-pay patients book directly via the MRI booking line and receive a written radiologist report; examinations are also covered by Czech public health insurance with a valid referral.

Spine MRI at Klinika Dr. Pírka uses the Siemens Magnetom Sola 1.5T system in the hospital's 2023 imaging pavilion, led by MUDr. Zuzana Ryznarová, Ph.D. The department covers all three spinal segments — cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) — and is the imaging standard for disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, nerve root compression, spondylosis, and pre-surgical planning. The 70 cm bore of the Sola provides a more comfortable experience for patients with acute back pain who need to remain still in the scanner. Being embedded in a full hospital with on-site neurology and orthopaedics means scan results can be rapidly acted upon without needing to transfer to another centre.

Klinika Dr. Pírka is an accredited prostate MRI screening facility and performs the full range of abdominal and pelvic MRI on its Siemens Magnetom Sola 1.5T — including liver assessment, MRCP (biliary and pancreatic duct imaging), abdominal organ survey, pelvic MRI, and multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI). The department, led by MUDr. Zuzana Ryznarová, Ph.D., opened in the purpose-built imaging pavilion in May 2023. Abdominal studies require specific preparation including fasting and in some cases an oral contrast agent (pineapple juice or similar bowel marker). Prostate MRI follows a strict 3-day ejaculation abstinence protocol to maximise image quality. Results are interpreted by MUDr. Ryznarová and provided as a written report included in the self-pay fee.
