Want to get some Mri work done. It's my understanding that the one at military hospital is old and resolution, well, sucks. I believe there is another in town, but not sure. Paolo and Aek Udon seem to refer you to out of town, which is no problem. Is anyone familiar with the ones they use, i think Aek uses their bkk affiliate and Paolo or maybe Aek Udon also uses a hospital in Khon Kaen, either Khon Kaen Ram, whick gets nice reviews from Kk forum and Srinakarind Hosp. also one of the two people recommend down there.

Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.

AND, anyone had hemmorroids removed in Udon, have kept them under control with herbal medicine, but am losing the battle, time to come out. Any recommendations there would be helpful. one dr at udon hosp said he could take out no problem, but he looks about 22 yrs old.

There is an excellent clinic in Nong Khai run by a surgeon specialising in haemeroids etc who sorted out my problem without surgery when others said i needed surgery.He is a surgeon if you want to go that route.Maybe Stan knows who i mean,it's on the river front road.Lost the address,sorry.Will ask the wife.

No help on this one,yet!!

I know i was a little vague.

OK the clinic is opposite a very popular birthday cake shop on Meechai road around G4 area.

I used the MRI in Khan Kean, excellent as a mattre of fact thier second patient. Reports MRI's in hand wihtin two hours. Good Diagnostic report and you keep the MRI.

Ray. How long did the MRI take. i.e. how long were you in the machine.

You know off hand I don't really remember but it wasn't for very long. The other thing was I was very comfortable sometimes they are very small and I feel like I'm being shoved into something I don't recall that in this case. But that was 18 months ago, so I'm working on memory.

i'm going to guess and say that was KK Ram hosp? did you get a referral from here, paolo or aek or just schedule yourself?

No as I recall it was the name was Khan Kean MRI, not part of a hospital the referral was from AEK

What was the cost for the MRI and did they let you keep it?

About 4 years ago I had an MRI in the military hospital in Korat.
At that time they were the only one that had new machines.
The US military paid for the machines!!!!
I still have the pictures.
I paid 10.000 bath (bill is still with the pictures)

Been to long don't remember the costs, but yes you keep the images.

thanks for replies here and email, fills in the gaps of what i found out.

Thank You

MRI is that the same as computer scanning??

MRI = Magnetic Resonance Imaging
