We do not compromise on quality! At MIND Clinic, we commissioned the most advanced MRI technology in the summer of 2021. We welcome our patients with a 3-Tesla MRI machine, representing the highest level in its category.
Top-tier MRI machine at MIND Clinic
Operating principle, preparation for the examination, contrast agent
MRI scans are now available on weekends as well; every odd week, we also welcome patients on Saturday for a native MRI.
Qualified and dedicated staff.
The MRI machine that provides the highest image resolution currently available.
NEW! – Full-body MRI scan now available for booking
We kindly ask our patients to consult their treating physician regarding the exact indications and details before booking an appointment for a full-body MRI. The primary purpose of a full-body MRI is oncological screening and it is not suitable for answering targeted questions. For such purposes, targeted MRI examinations are required.
For an accurate report and diagnosis, comparison with previous medical history is crucial-both regarding prior reports and imaging. Without previous imaging, some examinations cannot be properly evaluated, so we specifically ask our patients to submit any available prior reports and imaging at the reception before the examination.

WHAT IS AN MRI, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
MRI (or MR) is a completely painless imaging examination that has no harmful effects on the human body. Very simply put, it works on the principle of magnetism to produce detailed images of specific areas of the body from multiple angles.
At MIND Clinic, we use one of General Electric’s most advanced MRI machines with a 3-Tesla magnetic field strength, allowing us to create the most detailed images possible.
HOW DOES AN MRI EXAMINATION DIFFER FROM X-RAY, CT, AND ULTRASOUND, AND WHAT ARE ITS ADVANTAGES?
X-ray, CT, and ultrasound examinations are each based on a single physical principle: X-ray and CT rely on X-ray absorption, while ultrasound is based on the reflection of sound waves. In contrast, MRI creates an extremely detailed image by combining a variety of physical processes.
An MRI examination can also be compared to a laboratory test in the sense that a blood sample can be analyzed in many different ways. Therefore, before the examination, a specific diagnostic question must be defined to determine which special measurements should be performed. Currently, around 600 MRI sequences can be examined, from which 4–5 key aspects are selected to focus the examination.
MRI is the most informative imaging method, and the diagnostic value of the images obtained usually far exceeds that of CT or ultrasound.
Another major advantage over CT is that in most cases, no contrast agent is needed. MRI contrast agents do not contain iodine but gadolinium. At our clinic, we use the highest-quality contrast agent, in which the gadolinium does not dissociate, making it safe even in cases of complete renal failure.
Accordingly, since not all MRI examinations require a contrast agent, and when it is needed, it is completely safe, we uniquely do not require laboratory tests before the MRI. This saves patients considerable time, effort, and money.
IMPORTANT: If you have any metal implants (e.g., a pacemaker), please consult with our staff before booking an appointment, as metal in the body can affect the execution of the examination.
MRI under sedation is available
Complete stillness is essential for a successful MRI examination, which can be difficult for some patients—such as children, highly anxious, or claustrophobic adults. In such cases, an MRI under sedation provides a solution. The procedure is performed by a specialist anesthesiologist, ensuring the patient’s comfort and excellent image quality.
