MRI Scan

Native 3T MRI of the lumbosacral spine covering L1–S1 discs, nerve roots, spinal canal, and facet joints. Most requested spinal examination for lower back pain and sciatica.

Native 3T MRI of a single knee joint evaluating menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, and subchondral bone. High-resolution protocol with no radiation.

3 Tesla MRI examinations at Private Access Linz — the full range of brain, spine, joint, and abdominal protocols offered alongside CT in one integrated appointment if required.

Native 3T MRI of a single shoulder assessing the rotator cuff tendons, glenoid labrum, biceps tendon, and glenohumeral joint. Optimised imaging planes for rotator cuff tear grading.

3 Tesla MRI of the brain for precise structural imaging of the cerebral hemispheres, brainstem, cranial nerves, and posterior fossa. No referral required for private patients.

MR angiography of the carotid arteries evaluating the cervical vasculature for stenosis, atherosclerotic disease, and dissection. Non-invasive alternative to conventional angiography.

MRI of the thorax covering chest wall, mediastinum, and lung parenchyma. Radiation-free alternative for thoracic assessment in selected clinical scenarios.

Native MRI of a single knee joint evaluating menisci, cruciate and collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, and subchondral bone. No referral required.

Native MRI of the lumbosacral spine covering L1-S1 discs, nerve roots, cauda equina, and facet joints. The most frequently requested spinal examination for lower back pain.

Bilateral breast MRI for detection and characterisation of breast lesions. High sensitivity for invasive cancers, particularly valuable for dense breast tissue.

Native MRI of a single shoulder covering the rotator cuff, glenoid labrum, biceps tendon, and glenohumeral joint. Assessment for impingement, tears, and instability.

Native MRI of a single hip joint and pelvis evaluating the acetabular labrum, articular cartilage, femoral head, and surrounding soft tissues. No referral required.

Native MRI of the cervical spine covering C1-C7, intervertebral discs, spinal cord, and neural foramina. Evaluates neck pain, radiculopathy, and myelopathy.

Combined brain MRI and non-contrast MR angiography of the intracranial arteries. Covers structural brain assessment plus visualisation of the circle of Willis and major cerebral vessels.

Dedicated prostate MRI for detection and characterisation of prostate lesions. Multiparametric protocol for PI-RADS assessment to guide biopsy decisions.

Multiparametric 3T prostate MRI combining anatomical, diffusion-weighted, and contrast-enhanced sequences for PI-RADS assessment of suspicious lesions. Guides biopsy targeting and active surveillance.

A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the spine that gives detailed views of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, spinal cord and nerve roots without ionising radiation. ST Medical scans the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine individually or in combination, with the option to add the sacroiliac joints or contrast enhancement. It is frequently used to investigate back or neck pain, sciatica, suspected disc problems and nerve-root compression, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist.

A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain that produces highly detailed cross-sectional pictures of brain tissue, blood vessels and surrounding structures without using ionising radiation. At ST Medical the head MRI is performed by experienced radiographers and reported by a radiologist, with options for contrast enhancement, dedicated angiography of the cerebral vessels, and focused sequences of the pituitary gland or orbits. It is commonly requested for the investigation of headaches, neurological symptoms or follow-up of known findings.

A magnetic resonance imaging scan of a single joint that shows cartilage, ligaments, tendons, the joint capsule and bone in fine detail without ionising radiation — the imaging of choice for many sports and orthopaedic injuries. ST Medical scans the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist, ankle, hand or foot, with MR arthrography and contrast options for more complex questions. With several orthopaedic surgeons on site, imaging can feed directly into a treatment plan.

An MRI of the paranasal sinuses that images the sinus cavities and surrounding soft tissue in detail without ionising radiation. It is used to assess persistent or complex sinus problems where soft-tissue detail is important. At Neoscan the scan is performed on a 1.5T scanner with the Ambient Experience environment to ease anxiety, and reported by radiology specialists. No referral is required for a private appointment, and a contrast-enhanced option is available.

An MRI of the lumbar (lower back) spine that images the vertebrae, discs, spinal canal and nerve roots, commonly used to investigate low back pain, sciatica and suspected disc herniation. The study uses no radiation and shows soft tissue in fine detail. At Neoscan it is performed on a 1.5T scanner with the Ambient Experience environment to reduce anxiety during the scan, and reported by radiology specialists. No referral is required for a private appointment.

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a specialised MRI that images the bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreatic duct without contrast or radiation. It is used to assess the biliary system non-invasively. At Neoscan it is performed on a 1.5T scanner with the Ambient Experience environment to keep the scan relaxed, and reported by radiology specialists. No referral is required, and it can be combined with a full abdominal study in one visit.

An MRI of the abdomen that images organs such as the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys and adrenal glands in detail, without ionising radiation. It is used to characterise findings seen on other scans and to investigate abdominal symptoms. At Neoscan it is performed on a 1.5T scanner with the Ambient Experience environment to ease anxiety during the longer abdominal sequences, and reported by radiology specialists. No referral is required, and it can be combined with MRCP imaging of the bile ducts.

A combined MRI of all three regions of the spine — cervical, thoracic and lumbar — in a single appointment, imaging the vertebrae, discs, spinal cord and nerve roots throughout the back. It suits patients needing a whole-spine assessment. At Neoscan it is performed on a 1.5T scanner with the Ambient Experience environment to keep the longer study comfortable, and reported by radiology specialists. No referral is required, and booking all three segments together is cheaper than separately.
