Service Description

Cardiac, Breast, Small Bowel, Prostate A Breast MRI with contrast is an advanced imaging service used to detect and evaluate abnormalities in breast tissue. It is particularly valuable when traditional imaging methods, such as mammography or ultrasound, provide inconclusive results. This service is often recommended for high-risk patients, those with dense breast tissue, or individuals undergoing further evaluation following a breast cancer diagnosis. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate The Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate is a specialized, non-invasive imaging service designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the prostate gland. This advanced imaging technique plays a critical role in the detection, localization, and staging of prostate cancer, particularly in patients with elevated PSA levels or those under active surveillance. Cardiac MRI Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a non-invasive imaging service that provides detailed pictures of the heart’s structure and function. It uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create high-resolution, 3D images without the use of ionizing radiation, making it a safe and accurate tool for diagnosing a wide range of heart conditions. This advanced service is often used to evaluate: Heart anatomy and function Cardiomyopathies (e.g. hypertrophic or dilated) Congenital heart disease Myocardial viability after a heart attack Inflammation (e.g. myocarditis or pericarditis) Cardiac masses or tumors Blood flow and perfusion MRI Small Bowel The MRI Small Bowel service, also known as MR Enterography, is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate the small intestine in detail. It is especially valuable for diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease, as well as identifying tumors, strictures, abscesses, and other small bowel abnormalities.
