Book a private MRI with a doctor's consultation

After ordering, you will receive a doctor's consultation where you describe your complaints, symptoms and what you want to have examined. Together with the doctor, you will go through your situation. The question describes what the examination is to investigate and forms the basis for how it is planned and how the images are assessed.
What can an MRI scan show?
Magnetic imaging, also known as MRI or magnetic resonance imaging, uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. Unlike regular X-rays and computed tomography, no ionizing radiation is used. MRI can be used to examine the brain, spine, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, internal organs, blood vessels and other soft tissues, as well as for whole-body examinations and much more.
Before your visit to Ingenjör Bååths gata 3
Always follow the instructions in your invitation. Preparations may differ depending on which MRI scan you are having and whether contrast media is to be used.
- Inform the clinic in advance if you have a pacemaker, other implanted implants or metal fragments in your body.
- Tell them if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.
- Contact the clinic before your visit if you feel uncomfortable in confined spaces.
- Follow the instructions regarding metal objects, jewellery and electronic equipment before the scan.
How an MRI scan is done
During the scan, you lie on a table that is inserted into the MRI camera. In order for the images to be clear, you need to lie still. The camera makes loud, clicking sounds and you will be given hearing protection. The staff can communicate with you during the scan. How long the visit takes depends on what is to be examined.
