MRI in Malmö at Evidia Hyllie Röntgen
Evidia Hyllie Röntgen is a modern radiology clinic in Malmö offering MRI scans and conventional X-rays. The clinic is located in Hyllie, one of the most accessible areas in Malmö for both car and train travelers—with Hyllie Station, Malmö Arena, and Emporia all within short walking distance. For those seeking an MRI in Malmö, Hyllie is therefore a convenient option, especially if you are traveling from southern Malmö or other parts of Skåne.
When you book an MRI scan through Testmottagningen, you do not need to have a pre-existing referral. After booking, you will have a medical consultation where the doctor reviews your symptoms, medical history, and the specific issues you are seeking help for. If an MRI is deemed medically justified, a referral is issued containing the relevant medical history and the specific clinical question to be addressed. The referral is then forwarded for radiological assessment and appointment scheduling.
MRI in Malmö for various parts of the body
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)—also known as magnetic resonance tomography—is used to create detailed images of the body's organs, joints, spine, and soft tissues. The examination is particularly useful for visualizing structures that do not appear as clearly on conventional X-rays. MRI utilizes a strong magnetic field and radio waves; consequently, it does not involve ionizing radiation.
A patient undergoing an MRI scan in Malmö.
The most suitable MRI scan depends on the symptoms and the part of the body requiring assessment. In Malmö, MRI can be used to examine areas such as the back, joints, brain, pelvis, or other soft tissues. A targeted scan provides more detailed information about a specific anatomical area and is therefore selected based on the medical question specified in the referral.
Examples of MRI scans available in Malmö
There is a wide range of MRI scans, each tailored to the specific area being assessed. Depending on symptoms and medical evaluation, a referral might specify, for example, the following types of scans:
MRI of the cervical spine for conditions such as neck pain, radiating symptoms, or suspected nerve involvement.
MRI of the thoracic spine for chronic pain or suspected issues affecting the discs, spinal cord, or vertebrae.
MRI of the ankle for suspected ligament, tendon, or cartilage injuries.
MRI of the wrist for chronic pain, suspected ligament injury, or other soft-tissue abnormalities.
MRI of the pelvis when a detailed assessment of the pelvic soft tissues and surrounding structures is required.
MRI of the prostate for urological issues where MRI is considered appropriate.
The available examinations may vary over time, and not all types of MRI are suitable for every condition. A medical assessment determines which area is to be examined and how the clinical question in the referral should be phrased.
Spinal MRI in Malmö
Back problems are a common reason for performing an MRI. During an MRI of the spine, the radiologist can evaluate structures such as the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, spinal canal, spinal cord, and surrounding soft tissues.
The examination may therefore be relevant in cases of, for example, chronic back pain, suspected disc involvement, or neurological symptoms such as numbness or radiating pain. The different sections of the spine are usually examined separately. The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine present distinct anatomical and medical issues, meaning the correct area for examination must be specified in the referral. In cases of more extensive complaints, the physician can assess whether a larger area needs to be examined.MRI of joints and soft tissues
MRI is also highly useful for examining joints and surrounding soft tissues. MRI can provide detailed images of structures such as ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage, and bone marrow, making the method particularly valuable for certain chronic overuse injuries or suspected injuries that may not always be visible on conventional X-rays. For issues involving the ankle, wrist, shoulder, or knee, for instance, MRI can provide important information about the soft tissues surrounding the joint. The examination can also serve as a supplementary procedure when previous tests have failed to provide a clear explanation for persistent symptoms.
MRI of the pelvis and other internal structures
MRI can also be used to examine the pelvis and certain internal organs. Because MRI offers high soft-tissue contrast resolution, it can provide detailed information about tissues that may be difficult to assess using other imaging methods. The specific examination protocol is tailored to the medical question at hand. Certain types of MRI examinations may require the use of a contrast agent to highlight specific structures or abnormalities. The decision to use a contrast agent is based on the area being examined and the clinical question specified in the referral.
Whole-body MRI in Malmö
Through Testmottagningen, it is also possible to order a whole-body MRI. A whole-body examination differs from a targeted MRI in that multiple parts of the body are imaged during the same session. The aim is to create a broad overview rather than focusing on a specific area of symptoms. Whole-body MRI is primarily suitable as a broad screening examination and does not replace a targeted MRI when there is a clear symptom or a specific medical question. For instance, if you are seeking care for back pain or joint problems, a targeted MRI is often more relevant, as the examination can be optimized for that specific area.

What happens during an MRI scan
During an MRI scan, you lie on a table that is moved into the MRI scanner. Images are captured in several different sequences, and it is important to remain still while the images are being taken to ensure they are as clear as possible. The MRI scanner produces loud knocking and buzzing sounds during the examination, which is completely normal.
You are usually provided with hearing protection, and the staff can communicate with you throughout the examination. The duration of an MRI scan depends on the body part being examined and the number of image sequences required.
Order an MRI in Malmö via Testmottagningen

After placing your order, a medical consultation takes place where a doctor reviews your symptoms and determines the most appropriate examination. If an MRI is deemed medically justified, a referral is issued and forwarded for radiological assessment and scheduling.
