High-quality images without radiation – only magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can do that. For individual planning of radiation therapy, in particular radiation dose and radiation field, an MRI is performed for many diseases (e.g. prostate cancer, tongue cancer, etc.).
You will need: Assignment (detailed brief), previous images/findings, completed questionnaires.
All metallic objects (including jewelry) must be taken off (magnet). You will be examined in a tube with a diameter of approx. 70cm, the examination couch will be moved slightly again and again, please remain very still. During the examination, loud knocking noises can be heard, which is why you will be given headphones. Please be sure to follow the breathing commands. An emergency balloon and constant visual contact will allow you to make yourself heard at any time if needed. The examination lasts between 10-60 minutes.
Depending on the examination, it may be necessary to administer a contrast medium via a vein in your arm. As this is excreted via the kidneys, you will need a current creatinine value (can also be determined by us before the examination).
These examinations are provided by Diagnoseinstitut Alsergrund GmbH. These examinations are to be paid privately and can be submitted to a supplementary insurance/private insurance.
