It provides multiparametric, high-resolution images of the prostate for detection of suspicious lesions. The patient can breathe freely during abdominal and cardiac examinations. Technology which improves quality and the ability to reproduce images, helping to prevent the need to repeat them. Investigation protocols specifically for each patient. Exceptional anatomical detail, especially in: orthopaedics, neurology and neurosurgery, gynaecology and breast pathology, urology and oncology. Our centre’s MAGNETOM Skyra 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Machine delivers: Higher sensitivity than gammagraphy for the detection of bone metastasis in advanced prostate cancer. Considered first-line imaging for metastasis tracer studies. Optimal technique for guidance prior to biopsy and especially for the staging and monitoring of treatment. High degree of visualisation thanks to multiparametric studies which not only analyse anatomical structure, but also functional behaviour, using enhancement maps and contrast washout. More information on the size and location of the cancer, its cellular density and microvascularisation. Very early detection of lesions, including in dense breasts. Higher precision and better detection of breast pathology, showing lesions which cannot be identified on mammography or ultrasound. Gold-standard technique for the assessment of peripheral nerves. Submillimetre resolution able to detect emerging cartilage lesions.
Exceptional anatomical detail of the smallest structures.Complete free-breathing during abdominal and cardiac investigations.High degree of characterisation due to techniques such as spectroscopy, tractography and functional imaging.Detection of areas of neuronal activation as they occur. Observation of brain function in real time.Assessment of the central nervous system and highly-detailed visualisation of cerebral structures.Gold standard for study of the brain and spinal cord.Advantages of 3 Tesla versus 1.5 Tesla MRI Better anatomical resolution and faster image acquisition
