MRI at Andrews
Our MRI suite opened on January 8, 2025, with a GE Signa 1.5T scanner donated by AdventHealth, our partner of 30 years. MRI gives detailed pictures of soft tissue and is especially useful for the brain and spine.
With it, Andrews joined the roughly ten facilities in Jamaica that offer MRI.
What we offer
Imaging has its own wing on the ground floor of the hospital. For inpatients and emergencies, urgent scans can be done at any hour.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Multi-detector computed tomography (CT)
- Angiograms
- Ultrasound, including pregnancy scans
- X-ray
Booking a scan
Most scans need a written request from your doctor. Call the hospital to book, and ask how to prepare, because it differs from one scan to another. Bring the request form, your ID and health card, and any earlier scans of the same area.
A radiologist reads your images and sends a report to the doctor who requested the scan. Many results are ready the same day.
I have always received courteous and friendly service from the staff at AMH. I especially enjoyed the professional interaction from Mr. Dixon from the Radiology department. He is very patient and takes extra effort to ensure that the patient’s comfort is ultimate.
