High-quality images without radiation – only magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can do that.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at RadCare
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers unparalleled diagnostic precision by producing high-quality images without the use of ionizing radiation. This advanced technique relies on a strong magnetic field and radio waves to visualize the internal structures of the body in extraordinary detail, making it a safe and reliable choice for various patient groups, including pregnant women and children.
During an MRI examination, the hydrogen atoms—abundant in water and tissues—are aligned by the magnetic field, which has a strength of approximately 1.5 Tesla, about 15,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field. A radiofrequency signal is then applied to stimulate these atoms, causing them to emit response signals. These signals are captured by specialized antennas (coils) placed on the body and processed by the MRI system to create highly detailed cross-sectional images.
MRI’s ability to differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue can be further enhanced when necessary by using a gadolinium-based contrast agent. This contrast medium improves the visualization of specific structures and abnormalities while minimizing the risk of side effects, making it a safer alternative to contrast agents used in Computed Tomography (CT).
At RadCare, we provide MRI services using state-of-the-art technology to ensure the most accurate diagnostic results. Our team of internationally certified radiologists is dedicated to delivering exceptional, patient-centered care. We offer customized imaging protocols to address the unique diagnostic needs of each patient while prioritizing their comfort and safety throughout the examination process.
Examinations Performed at RadCare’s Radiology Center:
- Brain and Spinal Cord Examinations: Imaging of the brain, spinal cord, skull, facial bones, and paranasal sinuses.
- MR Angiography: Including cerebral basal arteries, carotid artery, aorta, renal arteries, and iliac arteries.
- Breast Examinations: Imaging of breast tissue (including biopsy or marking when needed).
- Internal Organ Imaging: Imaging of the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, kidneys, uterus, ovaries, prostate, intestines, and spine, as well as full-body scans (e.g., trunk imaging) and all joint examinations.

FAQ'S
High-resolution cross-sectional images without X-rays – only magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can do that. The strong magnetic field of the tomograph causes the hydrogen atoms in the human body (which consists largely of water) to rotate in the same direction, and a radio signal causes them to oscillate. The resulting response signals provide finely graded slice images. As a procedure without radiation exposure, MRI can also be used on pregnant women and children.
Patients are composed of approximately one to two-thirds water, depending on age and gender. The hydrogen atoms (protons of water), as well as the protons in the solid portions of the tissues, are tiny magnets whose properties are exploited in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for imaging: Patients are placed in a very strong magnetic field (currently 1.5 tesla, about 15,000 times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field) so that their protons spin predominantly in one direction. Then their protons are vibrated with a radio signal so that they in turn emit radio signals that are measured by antennas (called coils that are placed on the body). These signals are converted into slice images by the computer. Magnetic resonance imaging is performed without X-rays and can therefore be used without hesitation in children and – for special questions – also in pregnant women. Occasionally, contrast medium (gadolinium) is required to differentiate between individual structures and between healthy and diseased tissue. Adverse side effects occur much less frequently compared to contrast agents used in computed tomography.
No. The Radiology Center experiences short wait times when scheduling MRI appointments.
After registration, you will take a seat in our waiting area 3. There you will be called and taken to a changing room. There you will have the opportunity to give all the information about your condition or to ask any questions. They must remove all metallic objects and inform the specialist staff about piercings, tattoos and permanent make-up. Patients are then led into the examination room, and MRI images are taken. These are then printed, burned to a CD, and sent to an image data storage device to be interpreted by a radiology specialist.
Yes, but rarely, and only after a specialist’s decision, contrast agents are needed in the MRI, for example when visualizing the arteries (angiography) or assessing liver lesions (liver-specific contrast agent, e.g., Primovist).
These examinations are provided by Diagnoseinstitut Alsergrund GmbH. These examinations have to be paid privately and can be submitted to a supplementary insurance/private insurance. For further information, please contact your insurance company.
