MRI Scan in Poland

ECG-gated non-contrast CT of the heart measuring coronary artery calcification as an Agatston score — a validated marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden and future cardiovascular event risk. The scan requires no contrast injection, takes under ten minutes, and delivers a radiation dose below 1 mSv.

Computed tomography of the head providing rapid, high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of the brain, skull base, and calvarium. The scan excels at detecting acute haemorrhage, fractures, calcified lesions, and hydrocephalus — situations where speed and bone detail are more important than soft-tissue contrast.

Single-region MRI scan performed on a GE Signa 1.5T HDxt system at Carolina Medical Center's Mokotow campus. The hospital's imaging department supports the full range of musculoskeletal MRI protocols developed through decades of orthopedic specialisation, including dedicated sequences for ligament, cartilage, and meniscal assessment. Radiologist reporting is available in Polish and English.

Dedicated knee MRI using a Siemens 3T system with a purpose-built knee coil, producing high-resolution images of the menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, and subchondral bone. The scan is the reference standard for evaluating internal derangement of the knee without arthroscopy.

High-resolution MRI of the shoulder joint performed on a 3T Siemens system, evaluating the rotator cuff tendons, glenoid labrum, biceps tendon, acromioclavicular joint, and glenohumeral articulation. The scan differentiates partial from full-thickness tendon tears and identifies labral pathology with superior contrast resolution.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine (C1-C7) using 3T Siemens technology, providing detailed cross-sectional views of vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding soft tissues. The scan identifies disc herniations, foraminal stenosis, cord compression, and degenerative changes with high spatial resolution.

High-field MRI of the lumbar spine (L1-S1) capturing disc morphology, spinal canal dimensions, facet joints, and paraspinal soft tissues in multi-planar detail. The 3T Siemens platform resolves nerve root anatomy within the lateral recesses and foramina, enabling precise localisation of the structural cause behind lower back and leg pain.

MRI of the hip joint on a 3T Siemens platform, providing detailed evaluation of the acetabular labrum, femoral head cartilage, surrounding tendons, and bony morphology. The scan identifies femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, avascular necrosis, and early osteoarthritis with higher resolution than standard 1.5T imaging.

CT of the chest covering the lungs, mediastinum, heart, and thoracic spine, performed on a modern multi-slice scanner with low-dose protocols available for lung screening. The scan provides definitive imaging of pulmonary nodules, lymphadenopathy, pleural disease, and aortic pathology with sub-millimetre slice acquisition.

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the brain performed on a Siemens 3-Tesla platform, providing detailed visualisation of cerebral structures, white-matter tracts, and vascular anatomy without ionising radiation. The scan covers the entire cranial vault from vertex to foramen magnum, generating multi-planar images in T1, T2, FLAIR, and diffusion-weighted sequences that allow identification of lesions, mass effects, demyelination, and early ischaemic changes.

CT of the abdomen and pelvis with multi-phase contrast enhancement, evaluating the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, bowel, lymph nodes, and pelvic organs. The scan provides rapid, comprehensive cross-sectional imaging suitable for diagnostic workup of abdominal pain, mass characterisation, and staging.

Comprehensive MRI of the abdomen covering the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, and retroperitoneal structures on a Siemens 3T system. The scan uses breath-hold and respiratory-gated sequences to minimise motion artefact, producing diagnostic-quality images for lesion characterisation, organ assessment, and vascular evaluation.

MRI of the cervical spine (neck region) evaluating intervertebral discs, spinal cord, nerve roots, and vertebral alignment. Identifies herniations, stenosis, and degenerative changes without radiation exposure.

MRI of the lumbar spine (lower back) assessing disc pathology, spinal canal dimensions, facet joints, and nerve root compression. The most commonly requested spinal MRI for investigating lower back and sciatica symptoms.

MRI of a single spine section — cervical (C1-C7). Evaluates discs, spinal cord, nerve roots, and facet joints. No contrast required for standard examination.

MRI of a single spine section — lumbosacral (L1-S1). The most common spinal scan for lower back pain, sciatica, and disc herniation assessment.

Non-contrast MRI of the brain and skull structures on a Siemens 1.5T scanner, assessing for tumours, cysts, vascular malformations, and white matter changes. No referral required; results within 15 business days.

CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) providing a non-invasive 3D visualisation of the entire colon and rectum using low-dose CT with specialised software. The scan detects polyps, masses, and structural abnormalities without sedation, endoscope insertion, or the recovery time associated with optical colonoscopy.

MRI scan of the head and brain without contrast agent. Evaluates brain tissue, ventricles, and surrounding structures for tumours, vascular changes, demyelination, and degenerative conditions. No referral needed for private patients.

MRI of the cervical spine (C1-C7) without contrast, evaluating intervertebral discs, spinal cord, nerve roots, and facet joints. Commonly used for neck pain and radiculopathy.

MRI of the thoracic spine (T1-T12) without contrast. Assesses vertebral bodies, discs, spinal cord, and paraspinal structures through the mid-back region.

MRI of the lumbosacral spine (L1-S1) without contrast. Evaluates disc herniations, spinal stenosis, nerve root compression, and facet joint disease. The most common spinal MRI for lower back pain and sciatica.

3T MRI scan of the head and brain using Siemens MAGNETOM SPECTRA. High-resolution imaging detects structural abnormalities, tumours, stroke indicators, and degenerative changes. No referral needed.

3T MRI of the cervical spine evaluating disc herniations, spinal cord compression, degenerative changes, and nerve root impingement. No referral required.
