FAQs
How Does a Whole Body 3T MRI Work?
The patient lies inside a large, tube-like machine, containing a powerful magnet. Put simply, the magnetic field aligns the hydrogen atoms in the body, while radiofrequency pulses cause these atoms to emit signals detected by the 3T MRI machine. Unlike X-Rays and CTs, which use ionising radiation, an MRI doesn’t expose the patient to radiation.
What is the Difference Between a 3T MRI and a Standard MRI?
Traditionally, MRI machines only operate at a strength of 1.5 Teslas (T) – which indicates the strength of the magnetic field. Twice the strength, the 3T MRI machine at Brisbane Radiology offers doctors more detailed and reliable imaging to assist with their diagnosis. The 3T MRI machine at Brisbane Radiology surpasses global imaging benchmarks in the field of radiology, setting new standards for quality and precision.
