MRI Scan
At Thangam Hospital, our Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services are designed to deliver high-precision diagnostics with maximum patient safety. MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed 3D images of organs, soft tissues, bones, and other internal body structures.
Our MRI scans are performed by highly trained radiologists and technologists, ensuring comfort, speed, and accuracy in every case.
Why MRI?
MRI is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions involving:
- Brain and spinal cord
- Joints and musculoskeletal system
- Heart and blood vessels
- Abdominal and pelvic organs
- Tumors, cysts, and soft tissue abnormalities
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI provides superior contrast resolution, making it ideal for identifying neurological, orthopedic, and soft tissue conditions with exceptional clarity.
Advanced MRI Technology at Thangam Hospital
Our MRI system is equipped with:
- High-field strength magnets for sharper images and faster scans
- Multiple imaging sequences for comprehensive diagnostics
- Contrast-enhanced MRI (when required) for better visualization of tumors, blood vessels, or inflammation
- MR Angiography (MRA) for non-invasive vascular studies
We maintain strict safety protocols and ensure every patient is thoroughly screened before MRI, especially those with metal implants, pacemakers, or medical devices.
Common MRI Applications
Neurological MRI:
- Brain tumors, stroke, aneurysms, multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Spinal cord compression, disc prolapse, nerve impingement
Musculoskeletal MRI:
- Ligament and tendon injuries
- Joint pain and arthritis
- Sports injuries
Abdominal & Pelvic MRI:
- Liver and kidney lesions
- Uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, prostate enlargement
- MRI for cancer staging in the pelvic region
Cardiac MRI:
- Structural heart defects
- Cardiac function and perfusion
- Myocardial scarring or fibrosis
MRI with Contrast
In certain cases, an MRI contrast agent (Gadolinium) may be injected to highlight specific tissues or blood vessels. This enhances the clarity of the images and assists in more accurate detection of tumors, inflammation, or vascular abnormalities.
Patient-Friendly MRI Experience
At Thangam Hospital, patient comfort is a top priority. Our MRI procedures are:
- Safe and non-invasive
- Painless, with no known long-term side effects
- Supervised by experienced radiology professionals
- Supported with noise-reducing headphones, proper communication, and anxiety-reducing protocols for claustrophobic patients
- If required, mild sedation may be offered under medical supervision.
