Advanced Imaging for Heart and Lung Health at Madras Scan & Labs
An MRI Chest scan provides highly detailed, motion-compensated images of the structures within your chest. Unlike a CT scan, an MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a preferred choice for detailed soft-tissue evaluation and certain follow-up examinations.
What Does an MRI Chest Evaluate?
Heart & Blood Vessels: Assessing the size and function of the heart chambers, heart valves, and major vessels like the Aorta.
Lung & Pleura: Detecting abnormal masses, fluid buildup (pleural effusion), or pleural thickening.
Chest Wall: Evaluating tumors or infections in the muscles, ribs, and soft tissues of the chest.
Lymph Nodes: Checking for enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.
Thymus Gland: Identifying abnormalities in the anterior mediastinum.
Preparation for Your Scan
Metal Safety: Because the MRI is a powerful magnet, you must remove all jewelry, piercings, and metal-containing clothing (like bras with underwire).
Implants: Please notify our staff if you have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or any metallic stents.
Contrast: If your doctor has ordered “Contrast-enhanced MRI,” you may need a simple blood test (Serum Creatinine) beforehand to check your kidney function.
Breathing: You will be asked to hold your breath for short periods (10–15 seconds) during the scan to ensure the images are sharp and clear.
