AKESO POLIKLINIKA operates a Siemens Magnetom Vida 3 Tesla wide-bore MRI — the same system used in Czech university hospitals — for self-pay patients. The scanner accommodates a wide range of body types and offers audio-visual glasses for patients who experience anxiety in enclosed spaces. Examinations cover the abdomen, small intestine (MR enterography), chest, pancreas, prostate, small pelvis, and whole-body scans, each completed in 20–30 minutes with a written radiologist report. Appointments are available Monday to Friday by calling reception or emailing [email protected].
About this treatment
AKESO POLIKLINIKA's MRI service is anchored by a Siemens Magnetom Vida 3 Tesla scanner — a top-tier wide-bore system that delivers exceptional image resolution and reduced scan times compared to older 1.5T equipment. The 3T field strength produces signal-to-noise ratios twice those of standard hospital MRIs, which translates to sharper soft-tissue contrast and the ability to detect lesions that lower-field scanners may miss.
The scanner's wide-bore design (70 cm aperture) accommodates patients of all builds and significantly reduces the sense of confinement that many find distressing. For patients who still experience anxiety, the department provides audio-visual glasses that allow viewing a film or listening to music throughout the examination.
Available examinations include the abdominal region, small intestine via MR enterography (which maps the entire bowel without radiation), chest and combined chest-abdomen imaging, pancreas, prostate, small pelvis, and whole-body MRI. Examination duration is typically 20–30 minutes depending on the body region and whether contrast agent is required.
