MRI Two Areas
MRI Two Areas
An MRI covering two regions in the same appointment. Common examples include both knees, brain and cervical spine, or hip and pelvis. Ideal if symptoms affect more than one area.

Referral & Booking – After you complete your request, a Nuvivo GP will review your details and provide a referral for the scan. We then arrange the appointment at one of our trusted imaging centres.

Preparation – In most cases, no special preparation is required. For certain scans, you may be asked to avoid food/drink for a short period or to change into a gown.

During the Scan –

You will lie on a comfortable, moveable table which slides into the MRI scanner.
