MRI Scan

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals is performed on high-field MRI systems providing superior soft-tissue contrast and diagnostic clarity without ionising radiation. The radiology department covers the full spectrum of clinical MRI applications, with subspecialty radiologists reporting studies in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, body MRI, and cardiac MRI.

Brain and spine MRI are the most commonly requested studies, used to evaluate headaches, seizures, stroke, multiple sclerosis, disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, and nerve root compression.

Abdominal and pelvic MRI is used for liver lesion characterisation, biliary and pancreatic pathology, prostate cancer staging (mpMRI), gynaecological conditions including endometriosis and uterine fibroids, and bowel assessment. Cardiac MRI evaluates myocardial viability, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart disease, and pericardial conditions with exquisite functional and structural detail.
