The radio waves are delivered to the body at specific intervals. During the pauses, signals are emitted by the atomic nuclei. This allows an accurate picture of your interior to be mapped. For certain examination procedures, it may be necessary to inject contrast medium intravenously during the examination. This contrast agent is distributed throughout the body by intravenous administration. This makes it easier to distinguish between different tissues and enables meaningful diagnostics.<\/p>\n<p>With an MRI, the entire body can be scanned, so to speak, or only certain areas can be scanned.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-j1yflr-d2ce24942632c7a74c5a45cacf40d8b0\">\n.avia-section.av-j1yflr-d2ce24942632c7a74c5a45cacf40d8b0{\nbackground-color:#004225;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_1'  class='avia-section av-j1yflr-d2ce24942632c7a74c5a45cacf40d8b0 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-10092'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hc8ur3-3f3c7de3f3e65a0e883354d4b7e6de25\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-hc8ur3-3f3c7de3f3e65a0e883354d4b7e6de25{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-hc8ur3-3f3c7de3f3e65a0e883354d4b7e6de25 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-hc8ur3-3f3c7de3f3e65a0e883354d4b7e6de25 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-hc8ur3-3f3c7de3f3e65a0e883354d4b7e6de25 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-hc8ur3-3f3c7de3f3e65a0e883354d4b7e6de25 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Do you need a personal consultation?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-5xrlb-89400cbaea8b7b36e0c600d8e6c8c55c av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_one_fourth  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-erzb4v-fa72b503e81d3f96baba0c4106c940b8\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-erzb4v-fa72b503e81d3f96baba0c4106c940b8 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-erzb4v-fa72b503e81d3f96baba0c4106c940b8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The specialists at the Orthop\u00e4die Zentrum M\u00fcnchen Ost will be happy to provide you with a medical consultation.

You will lie on a special examination couch, which will also be used to take you to the MRI. This is done at a moderate speed so that you can slowly get used to the environment. Depending on the region to be imaged, you will be pushed all or part of the way into the MRI.<\/p>\n<p>Before the examination begins, you will be given a bell to use if needed. This gives you, the patient, the option to cancel the MRI at any time. If the administration of contrast medium is necessary, we will insert an access beforehand. Through this access, our doctors can inject the contrast agent directly into the vein. As a rule, an MRI takes between 20 and 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l0frontk-d4a15578796fb3c42a98a82dc18d5e0c\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l0frontk-d4a15578796fb3c42a98a82dc18d5e0c{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l0frontk-d4a15578796fb3c42a98a82dc18d5e0c .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l0frontk-d4a15578796fb3c42a98a82dc18d5e0c .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-l0frontk-d4a15578796fb3c42a98a82dc18d5e0c av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Magnetic resonance imaging &#8211; are there complications or risks?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l0frotqm-ced3aeb625c69be659f8a7ca32f52d41 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Compared to an X-ray examination, an MRI is not associated with any risks, which can continue to have an effect over a longer period of time. X-rays use other types of radiation, which result in relatively low radiation exposure. This is not the case with magnetic resonance therapy. For this reason, an MRI can generally be performed in pregnant women. If you are breastfeeding, you should refrain from breastfeeding for only 24 hours after the administration of contrast media.<\/p>\n<p>Side effects may occur with the contrast medium used, which is excreted via the kidneys. MRI is not possible in patients who have renal insufficiency. Cold or warm sensations and also headaches can be side effects that rarely occur. Dizziness and allergic skin reactions may also be possible under certain circumstances. Before your MRI appointment at our Orthopedic Center Munich East, our physicians will provide you with comprehensive information about possible complications. We will inform you about the exact procedure of the MRI and answer your questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":9772,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10092","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MRI Magnetic Resonance \u00bb Focus | OZMO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"MRI Magnetic resonance imaging - Orthop\u00e4die Zentrum M\u00fcnchen Ost.
