Priority MRI Coordination (within 72 hours)

Sportovní Klinika coordinates priority access to MRI scans through its network of more than 80 medical specialists, securing appointments within 72 hours for athletes who cannot wait on the public healthcare list. The clinic charges a coordination fee (3,000 Kč for 72-hour access, 2,000 Kč for 10-day access) and handles the booking and referral paperwork; the scan is performed at a partner imaging centre. A dedicated phone line (+420 774 441 314) is available for imaging appointments. This service is particularly valuable following acute sports injuries where imaging findings directly determine whether conservative rehabilitation or surgical intervention is the appropriate path.

Access to MRI in the Czech public healthcare system typically involves waiting weeks or months for non-emergency cases, a delay that is clinically problematic for athletes with acute soft-tissue injuries where timely imaging directly informs whether conservative or surgical management is appropriate. Sportovní Klinika addresses this by acting as a coordinator within its network of over 80 medical specialists and partner clinics, securing priority MRI slots at accredited imaging centres and handling the administrative process on behalf of the patient. The service works as follows: the patient contacts the clinic's imaging coordination line (+420 774 441 314) or books via the contacts page. A coordinator identifies the appropriate imaging centre and slot within the specified time window — either 72 hours or 10 days — and manages the referral and scheduling. The coordination fee (3,000 Kč for 72-hour priority, 2,000 Kč for a 10-day slot) is paid directly to Sportovní Klinika; the MRI scan itself is billed separately by the imaging centre at the time of the scan. All major body regions can be requested; most acute sports injury referrals involve the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, or spine. For athletes within the Sportovní Klinika care pathway, the MRI result is typically reviewed with the physiotherapy or sports medicine team at the clinic, enabling a joined-up management plan rather than a standalone scan result. This integration is particularly useful after a diagnosis-changing scan — for example, confirming an ACL rupture that requires surgical planning, or ruling out structural damage so that an accelerated rehabilitation programme can begin with confidence. The 72-hour window is the clinic's headline commitment and has become a key differentiator for sports clubs that rely on the clinic for medical cover during the competitive season.
