An MRI scan uses a strong magnet and radio waves, not X-rays, to make detailed pictures. It is especially good for the brain, spine, pelvis and soft tissues.
Your CION doctor tells you if you need it, books it and explains the result.

Treat cancer with medicines, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
Yes. CION’s team in Vizianagaram arranges MRI scan locally, at partner hospitals where CION’s doctors consult (PG Star, Venkata Rama Hospital). Call 1800 202 8726 to check where and when.
2Is an MRI safe?
It uses no radiation. Because of the magnet, tell the team about any pacemaker, metal implant or metal fragments in your body.
3What if I feel uncomfortable in closed spaces?
Tell the team when booking. They can explain what helps, and your doctor may suggest medicine to relax you.
4Is it covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover scans that a doctor has asked for. CION’s team helps check your cover.
