SRIVARI SCAN is the most affordable diagnostic service provider. We use safe and accurate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines with cutting-edge technology.

What is MRI?

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical imaging technique used to visualize detailed internal structures of the body. It uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of organs, tissues, and other structures, providing high-resolution, cross-sectional view and generates highly-detailed, 3D images, offering multiple viewing angles for precise diagnostics. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for many patients.

What is an MRI scan used to diagnose?

MRI proves to be a valuable full body medical imaging tool. Magnetic resonance imaging excels when imaging soft tissue, tendons, ligaments and other non-bony structures. MRI scans help detect, diagnose and monitor conditions in every region of the human anatomy.

Does MRI Use Radiation?

Unlike CT scans, MRI scanners do not emit ionizing radiation. This makes magnetic resonance imaging scans the preferred imaging option for patients that require multiple scans over time while monitoring known conditions.

Scan Preparation

How long does an MRI scan take?

MRI scans average between 25 and 35 minutes to complete each examination. Some exams may require a contrast agent to be administered to enhance features within the anatomy. This process may add up to 15 minutes to the total scan time. Patients can expect to arrive 30 minutes before scheduled imaging procedure for check-in and screening processes. Total time spent at imaging facility is between 1 and 2 hours.

What are the Side Effects of MRI Scan?

MRI scans provide safe, pain-free and non-invasive diagnostic imaging exams. There are no known side effects to an MRI scan, so patients may resume normal activities after the examination. Drink plenty of water over the next 24 hours to help flush any contrast agents. Mild symptoms may include nausea, headache, or dizziness for a brief time after contrast has been administered.
