I may need an MRI soon for an orthopedic issue, and I may be running out of time to do it in my home country for certain reasons.

 

Is there a modern MRI facility in Bangkok, I would assume in a major hospital, at Western standards, that has:

1. Latest generation MRI machine, specifically 3T type

2. Musculoskeletal-trained radiologists (MSK) on staff to interpret the results.  This point is important, not just any radiologist.

 

Or maybe just recommend me a hospital that has the reputation for best care for orthopedic/musculoskeletal issues.

 

How much would a modern generation MRI cost in BKK?

 

 

In Thailand the ortho specialists usually  read the MRIs thrmselves and ignore radiology report. 

 

What type of ortho problem? As there are sub-specialties.

 

And were you advised to have MRI with or without contrast?

Thanks, I did not know that.

I PM'ed you more detail.

To answer your question, YES.   Bangkok Hospital is one that does (Bangkok Hospital)

Today I had a MRI on my knee, without contrast, at Bangkok Hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima - cost 7,500 Baht plus doctor's fee. They tell me a full knee replacement would be around 320,000 Baht.

Added to my last post - the MRI was not 3T
