Neuro-Radicular Imaging

Analyze for better relief: precise imaging for each joint and movement.

Presentation of the cluster

The CID is your partner in French-speaking Switzerland for the assessment and treatment of diseases of the nervous system and spine. The latest generation MRI is the non-irradiating examination of choice for the diagnosis and follow-up after treatment of neurological pathologies. We offer all morphological and functional techniques for the study of the nervous system, blood vessels, for the characterization of tumors and inflammatory diseases. 
In our center, MRI is available urgently to answer questions from patients and prescribing doctors as quickly as possible.
The high definition scanner provides an essential complement for the assessment and monitoring of neurovascular, ENT, oncological and spinal pathologies. It is also the methodology of choice for carrying out high-precision treatments (spinal infiltrations, biopsy, pain treatment).
Imaging exams are interpreted by an FMH-certified diagnostic and interventional neuroradiologist.
We collaborate with a multidisciplinary reference network in Switzerland for the management of neurological, neurovascular and spinal pathologies.


Types of exams offered

We offer a full range of specialized tests, designed to monitor and optimize your health.

Brain and pre-brain MRI

Brain and pre-brain MRI is an imaging test that uses strong magnetic fields to obtain detailed images of the brain and surrounding structures. This examination is crucial for diagnosing neurological pathologies, evaluating strokes, brain tumors or abnormalities of cerebral vessels. ​

Duration: approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Non-invasive, sometimes with the injection of a contrast product. ​

Indications: diagnosis of stroke, evaluation of brain tumors, monitoring of cerebrovascular abnormalities, investigation of neurological disorders. Inform the technician of any allergies to the contrast material before the exam.

Osteoarticular MRI

Osteoarticular MRI is a non-invasive imaging test that uses a powerful magnetic field to obtain detailed images of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. This examination is essential for diagnosing and evaluating joint and musculoskeletal pathologies, such as osteoarthritis, ligament tears or inflammation. ​

Duration: approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Non-invasive and painless. ​

Indications: assessment of joint pain, diagnosis of soft tissue injuries, post-operative follow-up, detection of inflammation and fractures. No specific preparation is required.

MRI arthrography and CT arthrography

MRI arthrography and CT arthrography are specialized exams that combine the injection of contrast material into a joint with advanced imaging techniques (MRI or CT scan) to obtain precise images of the internal structures of the joint. joint. These examinations allow a detailed assessment of joint pathologies, such as cartilage lesions, ligament tears, or rotator cuff pathologies. ​

Duration: approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the exam. Slightly invasive due to intra-articular contrast injection. ​

Indications: in-depth investigation of joint pathologies, diagnosis of complex lesions, preparation for surgery. Inform the technician of any allergies to the contrast material before the exam.

Guided infiltrations

Guided infiltrations are therapeutic procedures using imaging (MRI, CT scan or ultrasound) to precisely guide the injection of anti-inflammatory drugs or anesthetics into a joint or near a nerve. These injections are given to relieve pain, reduce inflammation or improve joint mobility. ​

Duration: approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Slightly invasive.

Indications: treatment of joint pain, tendonitis, bursitis, or chronic nerve pain. No specific preparation is required, but it is advisable to discuss your current treatment with the doctor before the infiltration.
