Frequently asked questions
Is MRI brain scan safe?
Yes. MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves — no ionising radiation. It is the safest brain imaging modality available, even for repeated studies.
Can I have an MRI with a pacemaker or implant?
Most modern pacemakers and implants are MRI-conditional but require pre-screening. Bring all device cards. Mention any implant when booking.
Is the MRI machine claustrophobic?
Standard MRI scanners have an open tube. Open and wide-bore options are available on request. For severely claustrophobic patients, mild oral sedation can be arranged.
