MRI Scan in Katowice

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.

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.

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.

Full-body magnetic resonance imaging from head to mid-thigh performed on a Siemens 3T system, providing a radiation-free screening survey of all major organ systems, the spine, and the musculoskeletal structures in a single session. The scan uses multi-station acquisition with automated table movement to cover the entire torso and proximal extremities.
