What Do MRI Scans Look For?

MRI scans provide clear, highly detailed images of many different parts of the body. Here's how our expert team at Alaya Health puts them to use for our patients:

  • Abdomen: Produces detailed images of abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas and spleen to help detect inflammation, tumours, or unexplained abdominal symptoms.
  • Ankle: Evaluates ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bones to identify sprains, tears, inflammation, or instability following injury.
  • Cardiac MRI: Produces highly detailed images of the heart's structure and function to assess heart muscle health, blood flow, inflammation, or damage following a heart attack.
  • Cervical Spine: Examines the neck region of the spine to identify disc problems, nerve compression, spinal cord abnormalities, or causes of neck pain, arm pain, or tingling.
  • Elbow: Assesses bones, tendons, ligaments and surrounding soft tissues to identify injuries, inflammation, nerve compression, or chronic elbow pain.
  • Foot: Visualises bones, joints, ligaments and soft tissues to detect stress fractures, tendon injuries, inflammation, or causes of chronic foot pain.
  • Gynaecological / Female Pelvis: Focuses on the uterus, ovaries and surrounding reproductive organs to help diagnose conditions such as fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, or pelvic pain.
  • Hand: Provides detailed imaging of the small bones, joints and soft tissues of the hand to assess injuries, inflammation, arthritis, or nerve conditions.
  • Head/Brain: Analyses the brain, skull and surrounding tissues to detect abnormalities, tumours, or to explore causes of headaches, dizziness, or memory problems.
  • Hip: Examines the hip joint and surrounding soft tissues to help diagnose inflammation, arthritis or unexplained joint pain.
  • Internal Auditory Meatus (IAM / IAC): Examines the inner ear canals and surrounding nerves to investigate hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, balance problems, or possible nerve tumours.
  • Knee: Shows bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves to identify injuries, arthritis, or unexplained pain.
  • Liver: Provides detailed views of liver structure and blood vessels, helping reveal diseases, tumours, or liver damage.
  • Lumbar Spine: Focuses on the lower spine (last five vertebrae), highlighting issues causing back pain, sciatica, or leg numbness.
  • MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography): Evaluates bile ducts, pancreas and gallbladder for blockages, inflammation, or tumours.
  • Pelvis: Produces detailed images of the pelvic organs, bones and surrounding soft tissues to investigate pain, inflammation, tumours, or other abnormalities.
  • Pituitary: Focuses on the small gland at the base of the brain to detect tumours, hormonal abnormalities, or causes of headaches, vision changes, or endocrine disorders.
  • Prostate: Provides detailed imaging of the prostate gland to help detect enlargement, inflammation, or possible prostate cancer.
  • Shoulder: Evaluates the shoulder joint, rotator cuff tendons, ligaments and surrounding soft tissues to diagnose tears, inflammation, instability, or persistent shoulder pain.
  • Thoracic Spine: Scans the middle back to look for vertebrae, disc or nerve problems that can cause pain, numbness, or tingling.
  • Whole Body MRI: A comprehensive scan assessing multiple organs and body systems to help detect abnormalities, tumours, inflammation, or underlying health concerns.
  • Whole Spine: Provides a comprehensive assessment of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine to identify disc disease, nerve compression, inflammation, or structural abnormalities.
  • Wrist: Examines the complex structures of the wrist, including bones, ligaments and tendons, to diagnose fractures, ligament injuries, arthritis, or unexplained pain.
