There are several good MRI centers in Bangalore where your mother can get her MRI done. Some of the popular ones include:
Apollo Hospitals - Bannerghatta Road
Manipal Hospital - Old Airport Road
Narayana Health - HSR Layout
Fortis Hospital - Bannerghatta Road
M.S. Ramaiah Memorial Hospital - New BEL Road
As for whether to go for 3T or 1.5T, it would depend on the complexity of the examination and the specific requirements of your mother's doctor. Generally, a 3T MRI offers higher resolution images and can be better for more detailed imaging of certain parts of the body. However, it may not be necessary for all cases and a 1.5T MRI may suffice. It is best to discuss with your mother's doctor to determine which type of MRI would be best for her condition.

Can go for 3T MRI if your doctor wants to know minute details about small structures inside the knee and cartilage damage.
