A magnetic-resonance scan of the brain that produces detailed cross-sectional images of brain tissue, the ventricles and surrounding structures without using radiation. At OMEGA the examination is performed on a new-generation 1.5 Tesla scanner and is commonly requested for headaches, dizziness, neurological symptoms or follow-up of previously known findings. The base price covers a non-contrast study; contrast can be added when clinically indicated. Most head scans take around 20 to 30 minutes, and a written radiologist report is provided afterwards, with a faster turnaround available on request.
