Bayside Standing MRI

Bayside Standing MRI introduced the first upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) service in Victoria. Unlike tunnel MRI scanners, which have the patient lying down only, our MRI scanner can image particular regions of your body in a variety of positions – including standing up. In this weight bearing position, we can better assess a range of issues and injuries. In fact, in some cases, we can detect issues that won’t be detected in a lying down position. To achieve this benefit with our service, it's essential that a direct comparison is made between imaging in both lying down and upright positions – using the same machine.
