With Karelia Magneetti, you get access to MRI examinations quickly and without queuing up to the same day, with referrals from all medical stations.
We provide the 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging at a very competitive price.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent examination method for its painlessness, accuracy and safety. Our MRI system has a larger than usual bore (70 cm), which reduces the feeling of cramping. Because MRI does not use ionizing radiation, it does not involve radiation exposure, like X-ray. Magnetic resonance imaging is based on the utilization of radio waves and magnetic fields together with water in humans.
Our MRI examinations include e.g., the most common MRI, such as of the knee, ankle, shoulder, spine, neck, and head, as well as prostate, which specifically requires the modern 3 Tesla imaging technology we use.
We do not conduct MRI examinations on patients with cardiac pacemakers.

MRI is ideal for diagnosing diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, such as joints, bones, muscles and tendons, and the spine (neck, thorax and lumbar spine).
MRI can also examine the central nervous system, brain, and spinal cord, as well as imaging blood vessels. In the 3 Tesla MRI of the head, the different intracranial structures are accurately distinguished.
Magnetic resonance imaging is also used to study the abdominal organs and their diseases.
Magnetic resonance imaging is suitable for examining the prostate as well as the uterus and ovaries.
MRI is produced by a strong magnetic field and radio waves. The examination is performed in a supine position, in a spacious and bright tubular imaging device. The aim is to make the position as comfortable as possible for the subject, because being present is essential for the success of the study.
If necessary, an intravenous or intra-articular tissue separation enhancer may be used in the description.
Prior to magnetic resonance imaging, you should usually eat and drink normally, with the exception of abdominal examinations, in which case the subject should not eat for four hours prior to the examination. Your regular medications can be taken normally before magnetic resonance imaging. Due to the strong magnetic field in the imaging room, all metal-containing clothing is removed before entering the imaging room. Magnetic lashes, jewelry and piercings should also be removed before shooting. Please get in touch if you feel the need for further guidance. Our friendly staff will be happy to help.
Magnetic resonance imaging cannot be performed on individuals with, for example, a pacemaker, defibrillator, or infusion pump. An inner ear prosthesis can also prevent MRI. The pain patch should not be applied before the examination. MRI is not recommended for pregnant women during the first trimester.
Our staff in Karelia Megneetti will be happy to answer any questions you may have about magnetic resonance imaging.
The magnetic resonance imaging study typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. The duration of shooting may vary depending on the subject.
You don’t have to be nervous about MRI. The MRI device can be inspected prior to examination. We offer a pleasant imaging experience in a larger-than-usual MRI device, the wide bore (70 cm) decisively reduces the feeling of cramping. The camera is pleasantly bright, and the brightness of the light is adjustable. The imaging experience is also facilitated by the opportunity to listen to the relaxing music during the study. During the imaging, the subject has a button in their hand, which, if necessary, immediately connects to the nurse who is in charge of the imaging. Any tightness can be relieved with medication taken prior to imaging.
You may come to have your MRI done even without a referral.
Referral will not affect the price.
