Patients in and around Frankfurt who require an MRI examination are in good hands at Dr Catarina Jung's private radiology practice. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI for short) is an innovative and very safe diagnostic procedure in radiology. It can be used to produce razor-sharp tomograms of almost any region of the body.
MRI Frankfurt: What is magnetic resonance imaging?
The abbreviation MRT stands for Magnetic resonance imaging and is also known colloquially as magnetic resonance imaging or MRI. MRI is an imaging examination procedure.
With the help of a computer, a strong magnetic field, additional alternating fields and measuring antennas, sectional images of the inside of the body are generated. These images are usually very detailed and can even show small changes taking place in the body. The MRI enables images of any desired body plane in different views: across the body, lengthwise and oblique.
MRI Frankfurt: When is magnetic resonance imaging used?
MRI is used by doctors as an imaging diagnostic procedure to diagnose or rule out a wide variety of illnesses or injuries (e.g. severity of osteoarthritis, bone fractures, haemorrhages, inflammation, vascular changes and stenoses, overstretching and tears in ligaments and tendons).
MRI is also used for tumour diagnostics. This means that the suspicion of cancer can be confirmed or, in the best case, ruled out. MRI can also be used to find any metastases, i.e. metastases of a tumour. MRI can also be used to monitor and assess the course of medical therapy.

MRI in the radiological practice of Dr Catarina Jung in Frankfurt
The Private practice for radiology by Dr Catarina Jung is located in Haus Castanea, very close to the Alte Oper. The Practice rooms within the Beyond Imaging Diagnostic Centre are barrier-free and accessible by lift.
The practice of Dr Jung is not called a specialised MRI practice in Frankfurt for nothing: With state-of-the-art technology, MRI examinations are possible even for obese patients or patients with Claustrophobia This is possible without any problems as the device is wider than conventional devices with a tube diameter of 70 cm. In addition, the very short magnet means that many examinations can be carried out with the patient's head outside the tube. MoodLight illumination and customised music ensure a feel-good atmosphere during the examination.
The modern MRI not only offers comfort for all patients, but also impresses with its technical performance: it delivers excellent image quality and therefore very high diagnostic reliability. The MRI images are provided after the examination in the form of a CD-ROM and can be transmitted digitally to the specialist providing further treatment via the secure web archive.
