Open MRI Scan With Contrast
1.680,00 د.إ
The Open MRI Scan (With Contrast) is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure designed for enhanced patient comfort and precise results. Unlike traditional closed MRI machines, the open design reduces anxiety and claustrophobia, making it ideal for children, elderly patients, and those with mobility issues. The use of contrast dye improves the clarity of images, allowing for detailed visualization of soft tissues, blood vessels, and abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, or neurological conditions.
Description
Open MRI Scan (With Contrast) – Advanced Diagnostic Imaging for Accurate Results
Say goodbye to anxiety and discomfort during medical imaging. At Lab Tests Dubai, our Open MRI Scan with Contrast combines cutting-edge technology with patient comfort to deliver highly detailed, accurate results — without the tight, enclosed space of traditional MRI machines.
Whether you’re being evaluated for neurological disorders, joint injuries, tumors, or vascular conditions, our open MRI system ensures a calm, clear, and comprehensive diagnostic experience. The addition of a contrast agent enhances visibility of soft tissues, blood vessels, and abnormalities, enabling faster and more precise diagnoses.
Designed for patients of all sizes, ages, and sensitivities — including those with claustrophobia or mobility issues — our open MRI offers a spacious, non-restrictive environment that prioritizes your well-being without compromising on image quality.
Why You Need This Test
An Open MRI Scan with Contrast isn’t just about comfort — it’s about accuracy and early detection. Many internal conditions don’t show clear symptoms until they’ve progressed, making advanced imaging essential for timely intervention.
This test is especially valuable when your doctor suspects:
- Brain or spinal cord tumors
- Multiple sclerosis or other neurological disorders
- Joint or soft tissue injuries (e.g., torn ligaments, rotator cuff damage)
- Inflammation or infection
- Vascular abnormalities (such as aneurysms or blocked blood vessels)
By using a contrast agent (gadolinium-based dye), radiologists can highlight areas of concern with exceptional clarity, leading to more confident diagnoses and better treatment plans.
If you need a detailed, reliable look inside your body — without the stress of a closed MRI — this is the gold standard in modern diagnostic imaging.
Symptoms That Indicate This Test
You may benefit from an Open MRI Scan with Contrast if you’re experiencing any of the following:
- Persistent headaches, dizziness, or vision changes (possible neurological issues)
- Chronic back or neck pain that radiates to limbs
- Unexplained muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling
- Recent sports injury or joint trauma
- Signs of infection or inflammation in soft tissues
- Known or suspected tumors, cysts, or cancer
- History of stroke or vascular disease
- Abnormal findings from previous X-rays or CT scans
If your physician recommends advanced imaging, don’t delay. Early diagnosis can make all the difference in recovery and long-term health outcomes.
Natural Production & Contrast Enhancement
While MRI technology relies on powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of your body’s internal structures — a process that’s completely non-invasive and radiation-free — the addition of contrast takes clarity to the next level.
The contrast agent (gadolinium) is not naturally produced by the body but is safely administered via IVduring the scan. It travels through the bloodstream and accumulates in areas with increased blood flow or abnormal tissue activity — such as tumors, inflamed regions, or damaged nerves — making them “light up” on the MRI images.
This enhancement allows radiologists to:
- Distinguish between scar tissue and active disease
- Detect small lesions or early-stage tumors
- Evaluate blood flow and vascular health
- Monitor treatment progress over time
Gadolinium is cleared quickly by the kidneys and is considered safe for most patients, with minimal side effects.
What Happens If Untreated
Ignoring symptoms or delaying diagnostic imaging can lead to serious consequences. Conditions like:
- Brain tumors may grow undetected
- Multiple sclerosis can progress, causing irreversible nerve damage
- Spinal compression may result in permanent paralysis
- Joint injuries can worsen, requiring surgery
- Vascular blockages increase the risk of stroke or heart attack
Without accurate imaging, misdiagnosis or delayed treatment is common. An Open MRI with Contrast helps catch problems early, when they’re most treatable — potentially saving you from invasive procedures, prolonged pain, or life-threatening complications.
Your health is too important to guess. See it clearly with advanced imaging.
How to Prepare for the Test
Preparing for your Open MRI Scan with Contrast is simple and straightforward:
✅ Before the Scan:
- Inform us if you have kidney problems or a history of allergic reactions to contrast dye.
- Let us know if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Remove all metal objects (jewelry, watches, hearing aids).
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing without zippers or metal fasteners.
- Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed otherwise.
❌ No fasting is required, unless specifically advised by your doctor.
Our team will guide you through every step and answer any questions to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.
Test Overview
What to Expect During Your Open MRI Scan with Contrast:
- Check-In & Preparation
Upon arrival at Lab Tests Dubai, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly staff. A technician will review your medical history and prepare you for the scan. - IV Insertion
A small IV line will be placed in your arm to administer the contrast agent during the scan. - Positioning
You’ll lie comfortably on the scanning table. Unlike traditional MRI machines, the open design surrounds you on three sides only, eliminating the feeling of being enclosed. - Scan Process
The table will gently move into position. The machine uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture detailed images. You’ll hear soft tapping noises — earplugs or music may be provided for comfort. - Contrast Injection
Midway through the scan, the contrast dye is injected. You may feel a cool sensation or metallic taste — this is normal and temporary. - Completion
The scan typically lasts 30–60 minutes. Once complete, the IV is removed, and you can resume normal activities immediately. - Results
Your images are reviewed by certified radiologists, and a detailed report is sent to your doctor within 24–48 hours.
Don’t let fear of tight spaces or uncertainty about your health hold you back. At Lab Tests Dubai, we combine advanced medical technology with compassionate, patient-centered care to deliver the most accurate diagnostic results — comfortably and efficiently.
Whether you’re seeking answers for pain, monitoring a condition, or following your doctor’s recommendation, our Open MRI Scan with Contrast is the smart choice for clear, reliable imaging.
