Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Gothenburg
At Unilabs Haga, magnetic resonance imaging examinations, also known as MRI or magnetic resonance imaging, are performed. MRI is used to create detailed images of the body's soft tissues, organs, joints and spine without using ionizing radiation. Which MRI examination is appropriate is determined based on your symptoms, your medical history and the medical question. The exact examination area is stated in the referral after consultation with the Test Clinic's doctor.
MRI examinations for different types of complaints
At Unilabs Haga, magnetic resonance imaging examinations are performed on several parts of the body. MRI may be relevant in cases of long-term pain, suspected injuries, reduced mobility or symptoms that need to be investigated with more detailed imaging diagnostics.
Common areas of examination include:
Knee joints, hip and shoulder for injury, strain or impaired function.
Hands, feet and other smaller joints for persistent pain or suspected soft tissue injury.
MR Brain for certain neurological symptoms or other medical questions.
Abdomen and pelvis when organs or soft tissues need to be examined more thoroughly.
After you have booked the examination, you will be contacted by one of our doctors for a consultation by telephone. During the call, the doctor will review your symptoms and medical history to ensure that the selected examination is medically justified and that the correct area is being examined. The referral is then formulated with a clear question for the radiologist's assessment.
Not all examinations are suitable for all symptoms. The choice of examination and the medical question are always determined individually.
