Head MRI

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.

A head MRI at MRI Diagnostyka provides high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of the entire intracranial compartment, including the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brainstem, meninges, orbits, and surrounding skull base structures. The Siemens 1.5T scanner delivers excellent soft-tissue contrast for detecting space-occupying lesions such as primary brain tumours, metastases, meningiomas, and arachnoid cysts, as well as signs of prior cerebrovascular events, demyelinating disease, and age-related white matter changes. The standard non-contrast protocol requires no physician referral and takes approximately 30 minutes. Patients lie supine with a dedicated head coil, and multiple pulse sequences -- typically T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, and diffusion-weighted imaging -- are acquired to characterise tissue properties from different angles. The absence of ionising radiation makes MRI the preferred modality for brain screening, particularly when repeated follow-up studies are anticipated. At 600 PLN (roughly EUR 140), this scan represents significant value compared with Western European pricing, where equivalent private head MRIs typically range from EUR 400 to EUR 900. The Bielany location is a short walk from Stare Bielany Metro station on the M1 line, making it straightforward to reach from central Warsaw or from the airport via metro connections. Reports are prepared by specialist radiologists and delivered within 15 business days, and can be shared electronically with the patient's referring physician if applicable.
