It is 10 centimetres wider than average and its diameter is 70 cm, thus helping reduce the feeling of confinement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Hungary, MRI machines with a strength of 0.5-1.5 Tesla are most often used, which is 150 times stronger than an average fridge magnet. The strength of the magnet affects the quality of the images, the stronger it is, the sharper the image of the organs and tissues examined is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 1.5 Tesla Siemens Magnetom Aera device, which has been operating in our diagnostic center since 2016, is excellent for making detailed, high-resolution images and for making an accurate diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >When is an MRI scan necessary?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MRI is a painless and side-effect-free examination, which has no harmful effects on the human body, but still gives a precise picture of the examined area and organ, thus facilitating the accurate diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to its high resolution, it is excellent for exploring central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, pituitary MRI) problems, diagnosing stroke, heart and vascular problems, thrombosis, examining spinal (neck, back, lumbar) and joint (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle), chest, abdominal soft tissues (muscles, blood vessels, adipose tissue, connective tissue) and abdomen and pelvis, sacrum (hip and sacrum), and breast and cervical soft tissues (thyroid, parathyroid, lymph nodes, salivary glands, blood vessels, muscles) problems and to diagnose ocular lesions (orbit MRI).

If you are unable to present a laboratory result, it is possible, for an additional fee, to perform a rapid test before the scan, which is a blood sample taken from a fingertip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prior to the examination, at the time of booking, our colleague will interview you in detail about any metal that may be present in your body, and other circumstances, as well as provide accurate information about the documents required for the examination (e.g. medical recommendation).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1589889304660 shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What happens during an MRI scan?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following the pre-examination orientation, the operator enters the MRI examination room and asks you to be located on the examination bed<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The operator adjusts the body position required for the test (the test is usually performed in a supine position), places the necessary coils, and then the examination bed lifts you into the magnetic tube<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is important that you stay still during certain stages of the examination, you can only change your body position with the permission of the operator<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The examination takes an average of 30 minutes (examinations involving more than one body part, such as a whole spine MRI, take longer)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the examination, you can continuously communicate with our colleague through the built-in microphone and speaker<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can reduce the noise of the machine with earplugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Mi t\u00f6rt\u00e9nik az MR vizsg\u00e1lat sor\u00e1n?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare.jpg 800w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-370x236.jpg 370w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-410x261.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >When is a contrast agent needed?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A contrast agent is a paramagnetic (a substance visible to the machine) drug that is injected directly into a vein by our operator.

This is always determined by your treating physician or radiologist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The administration of the contrast agent is conditional on having a good kidney function value, which can be confirmed by a recent laboratory finding, but it is also possible to perform a creatinine test or eGFR measurement with the help of an MR\/CT operator, which happens with a blood sample taken from a fingertip.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left  vc_custom_1744281332222\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"MR vizsg\u00e1l\u00f3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1.jpg 839w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1-370x258.jpg 370w, https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mr-vizsgalat-medicare-diagnosztika-1-410x286.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What are the benefits of the examination?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Completely painless<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It does not involve radiation exposure as it is based on magnetic resonance imaging<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">No long-term harmful effects to the body<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Can also be used as a screening examination (e.g. whole body MRI)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It allows you to accurately map the wanted area without invasive intervention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Is the examination risky?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a precautionary measure, the examination is not performed during the first trimester of pregnancy (although, according to current scientific opinion, magnetic resonance imaging does not endanger the foetus).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Magnetic resonance has no harmful effect on human tissues<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The contrast agent can cause a minor allergic reaction, which is extremely rare and easy to treat.
