What this test is

An MRI of the lumbo-sacral (lower back) spine is the gold standard for diagnosing slipped discs, sciatica, nerve compression, and other causes of persistent back pain. The 3T scan delivers crisp images of soft tissue, discs, and nerves — without radiation.

When you need this test

  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Sciatica or pain radiating down the leg
  • Numbness or weakness in the legs
  • Pre-surgery evaluation
  • After a fall or injury to the back

How to prepare

  • No fasting required.
  • Wear loose clothing. We may give you a gown.
  • Remove all metal items including belts and jewellery.
  • Tell us about any back surgery or implants before the scan.

Why 3T MRI matters

Premium imaging, no extra cost.

Most city centres still run 1.5T scanners. Through DiagnoHouse, every MRI defaults to a 3-Tesla machine — at the same negotiated price.

  • Sharper images

    3 Tesla = double the magnetic field strength of standard 1.5T scanners. More detail per millimetre.

  • Faster scans

    Higher signal lets us collect data in less time — most 3T scans complete in 20–30 minutes.

  • Earlier diagnosis

    Subtle abnormalities show up earlier on 3T — especially in brain, spine, and joint imaging.
