Why is an MRI important?

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is one of the most precise and safest diagnostic tools in modern medicine. It allows us to examine soft tissues, the brain, spine, joints, and other organs in detail, without harmful radiation.

If you're experiencing chronic pain, new symptoms, or need a more accurate diagnosis, MRI might be the right solution for you.

 

When is MRI recommended?

MRI is prescribed when a detailed view of soft tissues is required. Common reasons include:

• Chronic Pain
  If you're experiencing long-term pain, especially in your back, neck, or joints, MRI helps identify the underlying cause.
• Brain-Related Symptoms
  For headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, or other neurological signs, MRI is crucial in detecting aneurysms, tumors, or nerve pathologies.
• Joint and Spine Pain
  MRI clearly shows joints, vertebrae, and discs. It's especially effective for detecting disc herniation, arthritis, or traumatic injuries.

 

Which doctors prescribe MRIs?

MRI can be recommended by several specialists based on your symptoms:

• Neurologist – for brain and spinal cord issues
• Neurosurgeon – pre- or post-surgery assessments
• Orthopedic/Trauma Doctor – for joint or spine injuries
• Oncologist – for tumor diagnosis and monitoring
• Rheumatologist – for chronic joint diseases

 

 

How to consult a specialist?

You can have an MRI done based on a doctor’s referral or your own decision. However, a consultation is always recommended to ensure proper diagnosis.

At Khozrevanidze Clinic, you can consult a doctor and have the scan done at the same location — quickly and professionally.

 

MRI Risks and Safety

MRI is non-invasive and safe since it doesn’t use radiation. However, certain precautions apply:

• If you have metal implants, pacemakers, or metal fragments in your body — inform your doctor
• For contrast MRIs, kidney function must be assessed

Our specialists will explain all the details in advance.
