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.
