MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) produces highly detailed images of soft tissues, brain, spine, joints, and internal organs using magnetic fields rather than radiation. At RRSH, MRI services are currently provided through a formal MOU arrangement with an external provider — patients are sent for the scan and results are collected at RRSH. The hospital's own MRI unit is in the development pipeline.
Patients requiring detailed brain, spine, joint, or soft tissue imaging — particularly for neurological conditions, cancer staging, musculoskeletal problems, or where CT scan findings are inconclusive.
You will lie inside a large cylindrical machine for 20–60 minutes depending on the area being scanned. The machine produces loud knocking sounds during the scan. You must remain still throughout. Earplugs are provided.
Remove all metal objects including jewellery, hairpins, and hearing aids. Inform the team if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, or clips from previous surgery. Some MRIs require a contrast injection — bring kidney function reports in that case.
Available for eligible patients under MJPJAY-covered procedures.
Submit an appointment request and hospital staff will contact you within 24–48 hours on working days.
