Visiting an MRI centre for the first time may feel overwhelming, but M&D Radiology ensures your experience is smooth, informative, and reassuring. With facilities at Johannesburg Surgical Hospital and in Hoedspruit Private Hospital, our magnetic resonance imaging combine technology with compassionate care.
Preparing for Your Visit to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinic
Before arriving at our MRI facility, you’ll need a referral from your specialist. This referral allows our radiologists to tailor the scan to your specific medical concerns. Once referred, you may phone the department to schedule your appointment. When your appointment is confirmed, our team will share preparation guidelines. These may include wearing metal-free clothing, avoiding certain foods, and completing a safety form to check for implants or devices that could interfere with the scan.
What Happens Inside an Advanced MRI Lab
Upon arrival at M&D Radiology, our team will welcome you and explain the process. You’ll be asked to remove jewellery, watches, or any metal items and may be given a gown to wear.
The procedure is non-invasive and painless. However, the scanner produces loud tapping sounds, so we provide ear protection to ensure your comfort. Throughout the scan, which lasts between 20 and 60 minutes depending on the area being examined, our radiographers will maintain communication to keep you at ease.
Why Choose an MRI Center for Diagnostic Imaging?
At M&D Radiology, our 3 Tesla MRI produces highly detailed images. These images help diagnose a wide range of conditions. Our Radiologists collaborate closely with your referring doctor to ensure the results are accurate and useful for your treatment plan.
This level of precision is what sets our MRI Department apart. We believe that clarity in diagnosis leads to confidence in care.
After Your Scan at the MRI Facility
Once your scan is complete, you can return to your daily routine immediately, no recovery time is required. Our Radiologists will analyse the images and send a comprehensive report to your doctor, who will then discuss the findings with you.
We prioritise transparency and comfort throughout your visit, ensuring you leave our magnetic resonance imaging facility feeling supported and informed.
