An MRI is a safe and painless test that uses a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. It helps doctors look closely at areas like your brain, spine, bones, abdomen, and soft tissues to check for any signs of illness or injury. At Mayfair, we offer both 1.5T and 3T MRI scans at our Mayfair Place location in Calgary and 1.5T at our Saskatoon and Regina clinics.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for screening and diagnosis. Many consider it to be the best way to detect diseases in their earliest, most treatable stage.
The exam is non-invasive, uses no radiation, and our state-of-the-art equipment offers a more comfortable imaging experience. Your health care practitioner may order an abdomen MRI to investigate any concerns in your abdominal area, or to examine:
We do our best to have our radiologists interpret the information and forward the results to your doctor in a timely manner. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.
In Calgary, MRI exams are provided at our Mayfair Place location as private pay exams and are not covered by Alberta Health Care. Prices are per body area. If additional body areas are scheduled within the same appointment, discounts apply. We also offer a 10% Seniors discount (65+) that can be applied to the first MRI exam.
In Saskatchewan, we provide MRIs as a publicly funded, community-based service under contract with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and as a private pay exam. Private MRI services in Saskatchewan are provided in accordance with and under the legislation of the Province of Saskatchewan. Pricing is per body area, similar to Alberta pricing (with similar discounts).
Your health spending account or group medical insurance plan may cover the cost of a private MRI that is prescribed by a qualified health care practitioner. You will need to check with your plan administrator for coverage details.
Please note that if contrast is needed, it’s an additional cost.
Please bring the following to your appointment: a valid government-issued ID, your provincial health card, and your exam requisition (if you have received one).

A body composition profile using magnetic resonance imaging (BCP MRI) uses a powerful magnetic and radiofrequency waves and an artificial intelligence and bioinformatics platform from AMRA® to measure the percentage of fat, bone, and muscle in your body. This can tell you what percentage of your body weight is fat and help indicate how healthy you are.
Finding your individual body composition profile is important because your fat to muscle ratio can be different from someone who is the same height, weight, and age as you. Your scale can only tell you your weight, not how much fat and muscle mass you have. Similarly, body mass index (BMI) only tells you the ratio of your weight to your height; it doesn’t measure body fat.
Without the use of radiation, BCP provides an individualized description of a person’s body composition based on a rapid, non-invasive MRI scan. This allows for a greater understanding of your body and the ability to personalize clinical care. It provides a greater depth of information than BMI, allowing a detailed look at your tissue.
Once your images have been gathered, they will be sent to AMRA® for analysis. Once data processing with AMRA® is complete, it is verified by a Mayfair radiologist who will also review all acquired imaging and generate a report that will be sent to your referring doctor within five business days.
This report will provide patient-specific body composition profile measurements and comparisons to reference data ranges, giving context to the results. Each measurement is visualized in a bar plot, where each patient’s information is presented in relation to the distribution within a body-size and sex-specific reference population.
Your doctor will review your images and the report from the radiologist and discuss any next steps with you. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.
This exam is only available in Alberta. BCP MRI exams are provided at our Mayfair Place location as private pay exams and are not covered by Alberta Health Care. Prices are per scan. For the first or a single scan, BCP MRI is $980. For follow-up scan, it’s $850 per scan up to a maximum of four scans total. Pricing for body composition profile follow-up scans applies only if additional scans are booked at the same time as the first scan. All scans must be completed within 12 months of the first scan.
We also offer a 10% Seniors discount (65+) that can be applied to the first MRI exam.

The exam is non-invasive, uses no radiation, and our state-of-the-art equipment offers a more comfortable imaging experience. It is invaluable because it gives very clear pictures of the brain and spine. For both orthopedic and neurology patients, we can look at very small blood vessels in the brain to spot aneurysms or identify plaque build-ups in the carotid arteries that may cause strokes.

The exam is non-invasive, uses no radiation, and our state-of-the-art equipment offers a more comfortable imaging experience. It is often ordered when more detail is needed based on results of other studies, when the cause of symptoms is unclear during a physical exam, or when an asymptomatic patient has increased risk of certain disease.
For an arthrogram an injectable dye called contrast is administered directly into a joint. The joint will absorb the contrast dye and glow on the MRI scan, allowing for a more detailed image. There is a risk of allergic reaction to the contrast agent, so you will be asked about your allergies and other medical conditions when booking your exam.

This non-invasive, multi-dimensional screening view of the body using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate possible conditions before they become a concern, allowing you to better manage your health. State-of-the-art whole body imaging may lead to early diagnosis, allowing you to achieve peace of mind and better manage your health.
Whole body imaging (WBI) takes approximately one hour and evaluates:
Whole body imaging has the ability to detect hundreds of different conditions including many types of early-stage cancer, multiple sclerosis, brain aneurysms, narrowing of the arteries, ischemic injury, vascular malformations, various metabolic disorders, disc herniations, endometriosis, neurodegenerative disorders and spinal degeneration.
Mayfair whole body scans will be interpreted and reported by sub-specialty-trained radiologists with extensive oncologic-imaging interpretation experience.
Once your images have been gathered, they will be reviewed by a Mayfair radiologist who will generate a report that will be sent to your referring doctor within five business days. Your doctor will review your images and the report from the radiologist and discuss any next steps with you. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.
PLEASE NOTE: Whole body imaging supplements but is not intended to replace other established evidence-based screening practices for the early detection of specific malignancies (e.g., breast imaging, colonoscopy, Pap-smear screening for cervical cancer, low-dose chest CT). As with any medical exam or test, whole body imaging is not guaranteed to detect all malignancies and diseases.
This exam is only available in Alberta. WBI exams are provided at our Mayfair Place location as private pay exams for $3,600, and are not covered by Alberta Health Care. Lung CT and/or joint MRI add-ons are an additional fee.
We also offer a 10% Seniors discount (65+) that can be applied to the first MRI exam.
