Breast MRI provides detailed images of internal and soft tissue structures of the breast, which enables a range of diagnostic procedures including assessment of implants, high risk screening and more accurate staging and treatment planning.
Non-invasive vascular studies using Doppler Ultrasound, CT scanning and MRI
Breast imaging includes techniques like mammography, ultrasound, and MRI to detect abnormalities, screen for cancer, and evaluate breast health.
A bone density scan measures bone mineral density using low-energy X-rays, helping to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.
CT, or computed tomography, uses X-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body for accurate diagnosis.
Interventional procedures utilize imaging guidance (like ultrasound, CT, or fluoroscopy) to perform diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, utilizes powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures.

Before your Examination
Please phone us for an appointment. We will discuss:
Please let us know as soon as possible if there is any reason why you cannot keep your appointment.
Upon arrival:
You will have time to read about the examination, fill out a questionnaire as well as consent forms. In addition to a drink, insertion of an intravenous line may be necessary before your scan. A trained, experienced staff member will discuss the procedure with you. This is a good opportunity to ask any question you may have.
You will be asked to change into a gown and remove all metallic objects such as jewellery, dentures, hearing aids, etc.
Your Examination
If needed, you will have an intravenous line inserted. Our staff will position you on a bed that will gently move through the scanner, stopping to scan relevant areas. You will be asked to remain still throughout each of the 4-5 separate scans for up to twenty minutes. If you have difficulty lying flat, or are uncomfortable in confined spaces, the MRI staff will assist and make you more comfortable.
The Medical Radiation Technologist (MRT) or Radiographer will talk to you via a two-way intercom during the scan and let you know what is happening throughout. You can talk to the MRT at any time, even during the scan if you need to. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. The MRI machine makes a loud tapping noise while scanning (from the MRI coil movement) however you will be able to listen to music during the scan.
Post Examination
You will be asked to change back into your clothes and your items will be returned to you. You will be monitored for 10 minutes. You may eat or drink after your scan. There are no known side effects from the magnetic field.
Your scan will be interpreted by the Radiologist and a report sent directly to your doctor who will discuss the results with you.
