About the clinic
A brain MRI at Ponderas Academic Hospital in Bucharest, Romania, is a diagnostic scan used to examine brain structures and cranial soft tissues. The clinic utilizes a 3T MRI scanner, which was the first of its kind in the Regina Maria network. This scanner provides high-resolution images to help identify specific medical conditions within the central nervous system.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The brain MRI detects various pathological changes and abnormalities in a single session. This examination provides detailed information about the following areas:
- Central nervous system inflammations. Identifies signs of infection or autoimmune responses in the brain.
- Cerebral aneurysms. Visualizes weak spots in blood vessel walls that may require monitoring.
- White and gray matter lesions. Shows damage or changes in brain tissue often associated with neurological conditions.
- Structural abnormalities. Checks the overall anatomy of the brain and surrounding cranial tissues.
Equipment and Facility Standards
Ponderas Academic Hospital uses the 3T MRI modality for this examination. This specific scanner type offers higher field strength than standard 1.5T machines, which results in clearer images of the brain's delicate structures. The facility holds Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. This accreditation signifies that the hospital follows international standards for patient safety and diagnostic quality.
The scan is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients receive the results of their imaging to assist in further medical evaluations. To learn more about availability or to request a consultation, leave a request on Bookimed.

The coordinator was available, the conditions in the ward were good, the doctor (surgeon) was very attentive, and the postoperative care was up to standard
Not all staff members had even a basic command of English; despite the fact that preoperative tests and consultations had been scheduled, I had to explain the purpose of the consultation to all the doctors except the surgeon

10/10
One of my biggest fears while living in Romania was a major medical event. When I learned that I needed back surgery I was terrified. I started to research neurosurgeons, and needed up on bookimed, and then to Ponderas. I was becoming more comfortable as we went through setting up the consultation, and once we were there and met the coordinator and the surgeon, we felt much better. They answered all our questions and helped to accommodate the long drive we had to make. After checking in for surgery, the medical staff were so caring and kind. Even the little special touches, as in the picture. I feel like they gave me a good idea of recovery, and what to expect at home. 10/10
The process was very organized and everyone was careful to explain each part of the process. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. The nurses and even the man who transported me to the car was so careful and kind.
The food was pretty bad. At least there was food though.
About Bookimed service
Veronica was awesome! She didn’t just help set it up, but she checked on me after and made sure I was ok. Such a blessing for me. Thank you Veronica! Cristina • Orthopedics United Kingdom

Everything was handled so well
Waking up from the anesthesia, the first thing I noticed was the calm and attentive presence of the nursing staff. That feeling of being cared for really defined my entire stay. My surgeon was professional and reassuring from the very first consultation for my osteoma. I'm now 15 days post-op, and while recovery is a process, the support has been consistent. Honestly, from the initial planning to the clinic environment itself, I can’t point to a single thing that could have been better. Everything was handled so well. I genuinely felt that the entire team, from the administrative staff to the medical professionals, was excellent.
I could not recommend enough, from bookimed to ponderas hospital, the whole experience was excellent. The complexity of the intervention that I had done was executed flawlessly (osteoma removal/septum correction+turbinotomy). Dr Manea is an exceptional ENT specialist with amazing knowledge and skills, best in the country, he makes sure you feel seen, listen and you understand exactly every step.The hospital is very well equipped and comfortable.Everyone speaks English so communication was clear , smooth and precise . I would like to thank my coordinator Olha from bookimed for all the support and that she made sure I get exactly what I need and request.
