About the clinic
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of one area at West Hospital in Baku, Azerbaijan, allows for a detailed examination of internal structures like the brain, spine, or joints. A scan of a single anatomical region typically runs around $90 to $100. The hospital uses a Siemens Magnetom Avanto 1.5T scanner, which features technology to significantly reduce acoustic noise during the procedure.
Imaging Technology and Capabilities
The Siemens Magnetom Avanto 1.5T scanner at West Hospital is equipped with Quiet Suite technology. This feature lowers the noise levels common in traditional MRI machines, making the experience more comfortable. The system includes various coils and protocols to capture clear images of different body parts. The diagnostic is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Diagnostic Options and Duration
West Hospital offers different scan speeds depending on the needs of the patient. The scanning duration varies based on the chosen mode and the specific area being examined:
- Routine scan mode. Takes between 12 and 15 minutes to complete.
- Fast scan mode. Reduces the time to 5 or 6 minutes for children or claustrophobic patients.
- Brain or spine imaging. Examines specific sections of the central nervous system.
- Joint imaging. Focuses on areas such as the knee, shoulder, or hip.
Pricing and Procedures
The cost for an MRI depends on the specific body part being scanned. A scan of the knee or shoulder may cost around $90. An MRI for areas such as the brain, spine, or hip is around $100. These prices are applied per anatomical area scanned. Patients receive their diagnostic results after the imaging session is complete.
