wn78 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 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?

Sheryl Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negita43 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
