A powerful magnetic field and radio waves are used in magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, to provide finely detailed pictures of the body’s interior components. American Heart center in Dubai offers MRI in Dubai provide high-quality imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment preparation.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Guidelines

The MRI test uses no radiation and is non-invasive. Please go over our checklist under “What do I need to do before the scan?” Anyone are allowed to bring along friends or family, but they must fill out a safety survey and can only enter under limitations. Make childcare plans in advance since children aren’t allowed in the imaging room. You will be informed ahead of time whether a contrast dye injection is necessary for some tests in order to improve imaging. A little needle is inserted into your hand or arm to provide this painless injection. Gadolinium, the dye’s ingredient, is unusual enough to occasionally result in allergic responses. Before the scan, we’ll review your allergy history. You can ask the radiographer any concerns you have regarding the injection.
