| Frequently Asked Questions about MRI and CT scanning |
| |
| Why would a doctor recommend a CT scan? |
|
|
| |
Generally we may require a CT scan to
- Identify the exact location of an infection, blood clot or tumor
- Find and monitor such diseases as cancer
- Locate internal injuries and internal bleeding
- Direct procedures – for example, surgery, biopsy and radiation therapy
- Diagnose muscle, bone and soft tissue ailments, such as bone tumors and fractures and injuries

|
| Why might someone need an MRI scan? |
|
|
| |
MRI Scans are taken for a number of purposes in order to help your doctor diagnose particular types of ailments and disorders. |
|
|
| But aren’t MRI scanning machines generally claustrophobic? |
|
|
| |
True, they generally are - which is why we use extra wide scanners, allowing a far more relaxed experience to the more claustrophobic patient.
There are no known dangers or side effects connected to an MRI scan. The test is not painful; you cannot feel it. Since
radiation is not used, the procedure can be repeated without problems. There is a small risk to the foetus in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and therefore scans are not performed on pregnant women during this time.

There are no known dangers or side effects connected to an MRI scan. The test is not painful; you cannot feel it. Since radiation is not used, the procedure can be repeated without problems. There is a small theoretical risk to the foetus in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and therefore scans are not performed on pregnant women during this time.
Because patients have to lie inside a large cylinder while the scans are being made some people get claustrophobic during the test. Patients who are afraid this might happen should talk to the doctor beforehand, who may give them some medication to help them relax.
The machine also makes a banging noise while it is working, which might be unpleasant. |
