The Istituto Radiologico Gortan in Trieste performs magnetic resonance examinations using a high field equipment (1.5 Head). This procedure allows for very detailed studies of all body districts.
The investigation will result in images of very high quality and with a reduced time of execution.
High-field MRI can be used for the study of:

  • central and peripheral nervous system (encephalon and spinal cord)
  • abdominal organs
  • pelvic organs, in particular prostate and female gynecological apparatus

Performance of magnetic resonance examination
