Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionising radiation, making it ideal for imaging soft tissues such as the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs.
At The Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust, our MRI scanners provide high-resolution images to assist clinicians in accurately diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of conditions, from neurological disorders and musculoskeletal injuries, to tumours and vascular abnormalities.
Our MRI scanners are currently situated within our Radiology Departments at both The Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow and St Margaret’s Hospital in Epping.
