Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced medical imaging technique that provides very clear images of the human anatomy, without the use of radiation. Instead, it uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to generate images.
It’s a quick and painless exam, which helps diagnose diseases of the brain, spine, skeleton, abdomen and soft tissues.

In Regina, we provide MRIs as a publicly funded, community-based service under contract with the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region and as a private fee-for-service. Private MRI services in Saskatchewan follow provincial guidelines.
