What this test is
An MRI Brain (Plain) scan uses a powerful 3-Tesla magnet to produce high-resolution images of the brain — without any radiation and without contrast injection. Doctors use it to investigate persistent headaches, dizziness, vision changes, or rule out serious conditions early. The scan itself is painless; you simply lie still for about 30 minutes.
When you need this test
- Frequent or severe headaches
- Sudden vision or speech changes
- Persistent dizziness or imbalance
- Memory loss or confusion
- Doctor's order to rule out stroke or tumour
How to prepare
- No fasting required — eat normally.
- Wear comfortable clothes without metal zippers or buttons.
- Remove all jewellery, watches, and hairpins before the scan.
- Tell us in advance if you have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or any metal implants.

Why 3T MRI matters
Premium imaging, no extra cost.
Most city centres still run 1.5T scanners. Through DiagnoHouse, every MRI defaults to a 3-Tesla machine — at the same negotiated price.
Sharper images
3 Tesla = double the magnetic field strength of standard 1.5T scanners. More detail per millimetre.
Faster scans
Higher signal lets us collect data in less time — most 3T scans complete in 20–30 minutes.
Earlier diagnosis
Subtle abnormalities show up earlier on 3T — especially in brain, spine, and joint imaging.
