Six Reasons Why This MRI Is Different

80cm Wide Bore

The widest MRI bore commercially available — significantly larger than the 60–70cm standard. Patients describe it as open, not confined. Fewer incomplete scans. Less anxiety. Better results.

No Claustrophobia

The open bore design, shortened scan protocols, and calming colour-lit room work together to make MRI manageable — even for patients who have abandoned scans before.

320kg Weight Capacity

Approximately double the standard table limit. All body types are accommodated comfortably and with dignity — no turning patients away, no limitations.

AI-Assisted Imaging

Real-time AI optimisation delivers sharper images, reduced artefacts, and faster scan times — without compromising diagnostic accuracy. Fewer repeat scans. Faster answers.

Calming Room Lighting

Choose your colour — red, blue, green, orange, or pink. Ambient room lighting adjusts before and during your scan to create a calming, personalised environment.

Specialist Reporting

Every scan is personally reviewed and reported by our team of specialist diagnostic radiologists. Not automated. Not delegated. Expert eyes on every image.

Expert MRI Imaging. Patient-Centred by Design.

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves — not radiation — to produce detailed images of soft tissue, the brain, spine, joints, abdomen, and more. At the Centre of Advanced Medicine, every MRI is performed and personally reported by our team of specialist diagnostic radiologists.

We scan on the Siemens MAGNETOM FreeMax — a system purpose-built to expand access to MRI. Whether you’ve been referred for a routine scan, or you’ve previously avoided MRI due to claustrophobia, body size, or a bad experience, our team and technology offer something genuinely different.

Results are delivered directly to your referring doctor, with a copy available to you. Medical aid authorisation is handled by our team.

Is MRI safe?

Yes. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves — not ionising radiation. It is safe for most patients and suitable for repeated examinations. Please inform our team of any implants, pacemakers, or metal devices before your appointment.

Do I need a referral?

A referral is recommended and required for medical aid purposes. Self-referred patients are also accepted — contact us to discuss your requirements.

I'm claustrophobic. Will this work for me?

Yes — and the FreeMax was designed for exactly this. The 80cm bore, shortened protocols, and calming colour-lit room make a measurable difference. Please mention your anxiety when booking and our team will prepare accordingly.

How long does the scan take?

Typically 20 to 60 minutes depending on the area. AI-assisted acquisition actively reduces time inside the bore. Allow extra time for check-in and preparation on arrival.

What should I wear?

Loose, comfortable clothing without metal zips, buttons, or underwire. Leave jewellery at home where possible.
