Fast, clear MRI Scans in Kuwait with a wide-bore, patient-friendly design
At IMAGES Diagnostic Center we use a 3 Tesla (3T) MRI Scan—the latest generation of MRI technology. Its stronger magnetic field delivers sharper detail, faster exams, less noise, and more comfort, especially with our wide-bore design.
Why choose 3T MRI?
Higher resolution: Detects small lesions and fine anatomical details your doctor needs.
Faster exams: Shorter scan times mean less time in the scanner and fewer repeats.
Wide-bore comfort: More space inside; when appropriate, many exams are feet-first and keep your head outside.
Quieter experience: Noise-reduction sequences and hearing protection improve comfort.
Fewer motion artifacts: Speed + clarity help reduce rescans.
