At Bendigo Radiology, our state-of-the-art MRI technology offers unparalleled insights into the body's internal structures.
This service is essential for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, from brain abnormalities to intricate joint and muscle issues, providing our medical team with the crucial information needed to deliver accurate and effective treatments.
During an MRI scan at Bendigo Radiology, you will be asked to lie on a movable table that slides into the cylindrical MRI machine. Our technologists will make sure you are comfortable and provide you with earplugs as the MRI scanner produces loud tapping noises while operating. The scanner uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to create detailed images of your body in real-time, which are then analyzed by our expert radiologists. The procedure is completely painless, though you will need to remain still during the scan to ensure the clearest images are captured..
HOW IT WORKS
Once you are positioned inside the MRI machine, it uses a combination of a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce precise images of your internal structures, without the use of radiation.
