Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic tool that provides detailed images of organs, tissues, and the nervous system. It plays a crucial role in preventive healthcare by detecting potential health issues at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention before symptoms worsen.
*Note: A doctor’s request is required before proceeding with the imaging procedure to ensure that the test is necessary for your condition. If you do not have a doctor’s request, you may book a consultation with us to secure one.

Frequently asked questions
You need to secure a doctor’s request before undergoing an MRI procedure. This ensures that the procedure is appropriate for your health condition. If you do not have a request, you may consult with our doctors at Shinagawa. Once the doctor’s request is secured, you can proceed with the procedure.
If you have braces or dental implants, you will need to secure a clearance from your dentist to proceed with the procedure. This is to ensure that there will be no complications while the test is ongoing. Other than that, if you have metal implants, you may not be allowed to proceed with the MRI, unless you secure a doctor’s clearance that states you are safe to proceed with the MRI.
The MRI procedure can take minimum of 30 minutes to complete, until one hour or more, depending on the specific MRI procedure that can be performed. The MRI is very intricate in terms of developing its images, that’s why it required little to no movement at all while the examination is ongoing.
Brain MRI + Brain MRA can be performed on patients with a doctor’s request or approval.
An MRI is an excellent tool for preventive care, especially for individuals with chronic health conditions. If you’re unsure whether you need a CT scan, we recommend consulting with our doctor first.
No, a MRI a is non-invasive examination. To help you set your expectations, you will be laying down in a bed and there will be an emergency button you will hold onto throughout the examination so that you can easily communicate with our Medical Team whether you are feeling uncomfortable or if you want to stop the examination. You will also be wearing headphones wherein you can listen to any podcast, music, video, that you prefer. A helmet will also be placed on top of your head which has a mirror, so that you can see the medical team outside the examination room, making it less claustrophobic.
Patients with known claustrophobia may have difficulty undergoing MRI procedures. As much as possible, patients aged 17 and below can undergo an MRI; however, they must understand the importance of remaining still with little to no movement to ensure clear and accurate results.
You will receive your results via email within 3 to 7 working days, depending on the service availed of.
