MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Cape Radiology offers a specialised MRI service. Our MRI magnet has been recently upgraded. We have the latest generation of integrated coil and workflow technology allowing for quicker scan times, improved image resolution and expansion of MRI services. Dedicated metal artefact reduction sequences and dedicated MSK coils improve overall orthopaedic imaging. High resolution optimized protocols are used for neuro-imaging including specialized epilepsy imaging, functional MRI and tractography. We have a full Cardiac MRI service including myocardial viability assessment and myocardial tissue mapping. Optimized protocols are used for body MRI imaging including multi-parametric evaluation of the prostate gland, liver imaging with hepatobilliary specific contrast and in vivo liver iron content evaluation.
NEW 3T MRI UNIT
We at Cape Radiology are proud to announce the imminent launch of a new 3 Tesla MRI at Mediclinic Constantiaberg. This machine will be commissioned in late March 2024 and will run alongside our existing 1.5 Tesla unit. The new MRI from Siemens will incorporate the latest AI (artificial intelligence) augmentation (deep resolve) which will allow incredible resolution at faster acquisition times.
