3 Tesla MRI in Istanbul is available at 10 hospitals in the Voumed network.

3 Tesla MRI is a high-field magnetic resonance imaging scanner that produces exceptionally detailed pictures of the inside of the body. The "3 Tesla" refers to the strength of its magnet, which is about twice that of a standard MRI scanner, and this extra power allows sharper, higher-resolution images, often in less time. Like all MRI, it uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves rather than X-rays, so there is no ionising radiation involved. It is especially valuable for examining the brain, the nervous system, joints and soft tissues, helping doctors detect and characterise problems that may be hard to see on other scans.
