Diagnostic Imaging, MRI, Ultrasound Scan
Diagnostic Imaging Services in Singapore
Precious Diagnostic Imaging Centre is situated at the heart of Singapore, Orchard Road. The centre provides multi modality scans includingMRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-ray, Mammogram etc, to support clinical evaluation and medical decision-making.
The centre is dedicated to introducing the latest diagnostic technology to the patients in Singapore by collaborating with international medical institutions including Oxford Diagnostics (England) and 301 Hospital (China) etc.
Diagnostic imaging allows doctors to visualise internal structures of the body for assessment of neurological, musculoskeletal, vascular, and organ-related conditions. The choice between an MRI scan or CT scan depends on the clinical indication, urgency, and type of tissue requiring evaluation.
MRI scans are commonly used for detailed soft tissue and neurological imaging, while CT scans are often selected for rapid imaging, trauma assessment, and evaluation of bone or internal organ structures.
All imaging studies are performed based on clinical assessment and medical necessity.
Our Facilities
MRI Scan in Singapore (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
An MRI scan in Singapore is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency waves to produce detailed images of internal organs, soft tissues, nerves, and joints. MRI does not involve ionising radiation.
MRI imaging is commonly recommended to support clinical evaluation of neurological, musculoskeletal, and soft tissue conditions.
MRI scans may be used for:
-
Stroke assessment and brain imaging
-
Nervous system evaluation
-
Tumour detection and cancer assessment
-
Bone, joint, and soft tissue analysis
-
The decision to perform an MRI scan is based on clinical findings and medical history.
MRI for Persistent Back or Shoulder Pain
An MRI scan may be considered for individuals experiencing persistent backaches or shoulder pain that do not improve with conservative management.
MRI provides detailed visualisation of soft tissues, including:
-
Intervertebral discs
-
Spinal nerves
-
Muscles and ligaments
-
Shoulder joint structures such as the rotator cuff
This may assist in evaluating conditions such as disc herniation, nerve compression, degenerative spinal changes, rotator cuff injuries, or soft tissue inflammation.
MRI is often selected for these indications because it provides high-resolution imaging of soft tissue structures without radiation exposure.
A clinical consultation is required to determine whether MRI imaging is appropriate based on the duration, severity, and characteristics of symptoms.
Digital X-Ray
Chest X-Ray is a useful screening measure, detecting infectious diseases such as tuberculosis as well tumours and cancers.
Regular smokers, especially with a family history of cancer and/or persistent cough, should consider a lung CT.
Ultrasound
The Ultrasound system provides high performance scalable imaging for a range of critical applications, such as abdominal, pelvic, cardiac, vascular, OB/GYN, breast, prostate and musculoskeletal.
Recommended Imaging Tests
Pelvic Ultrasound Prostate MRI / Pelvic CT
Mammography (Breast Cancer Screening)
Mammogram screening for breast care solution with ultrasound and diagnostic capabilities, focused on an ergonomic design for patient comfort.
Diagnostic imaging, such as mammography, is recommended annually for women between 40 – 49 years, and every two years for women between 50 and 69 years
Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD)
Bone Mineral Densitometry is a non-invasive X-Ray scan, assessing bone mineral density and body mass composition, used to screen for osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is known to be a ‘silent’ disease, as there are no immediate symptoms of weakening bones. It is advisable for adults at age 50 and above to monitor their bone health.
CT Scan in Singapore (Computed Tomography)
A CT scan in Singapore is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-rays combined with computer processing to generate cross-sectional images of the body. CT imaging provides detailed visualisation of bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues.
CT scans are commonly used for:
-
Trauma and injury assessment
-
Lung and chest evaluation
-
Abdominal and pelvic conditions
-
Detection of fractures
-
Vascular imaging
-
Cancer detection and staging
CT imaging is often selected when rapid image acquisition is required or when detailed evaluation of bone structures and internal organs is necessary.
As CT scans involve ionising radiation, the decision to perform the scan is based on clinical justification. The type of CT examination performed depends on the area of concern and the diagnostic objective.
