In an MRI, sectional images are taken that are based on the deflection of hydrogen atoms in the magnetic field. Many examinations require the administration of a contrast agent into the vein. The contrast agent is extremely well tolerated and allergic reactions, which we can treat immedi-ately with medication, are very rare.

At about 16 ml, the amount administered is very low. We use a high-quality product with the lowest possible risk classification. The examination is not associated with X-rays.

Magnetic resonance imaging offers the advantage of being able to distinguish many different types of tissue. In addition, planning the examination and thus the image acquisition are possible primarily without recalculation at every level of space. The domain of MRI focuses on the nerv-ous system, spine, joints, and chest.
