On the day of your scan.
There is no special preparation for an MRI exam. The patient should wear comfortable clothing such as a sweat suit without metal snaps or zippers. Gowns are available if needed. Hairpins should not be worn. No jewelry or watches should be worn into the scan room. It is best to leave your jewelry at home.
You will be asked to change into clothing that is MRI safe. You then will be escorted into our scanning room where our technologist will explain the specifics of your exam based on what your doctor has ordered. The only thing you will have to do is lie down and rest quietly until your scan is complete. An experienced MRI technologist will be in communication with you at all times. When you are done, you will be able to leave. There is no recovery period or any after affects from a MRI exam.
An MRI exam is safe, simple and painless. However some devices are labeled as unsafe with the MRI machine, a patient cannot be examined if they have:
Metal fragments in one or both eyes
Metal Inner ear implants
A pacemaker or pacing wires
CERTAIN IMPLANTED SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR OR BRAIN STIMULATOR
EVERY IMPLANT NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED AND EVALUATED TO DETERMINE IF IT IS MRI SAFE OR NOT. THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL IMPLANTS THAT WOULD CONTRAINDICATE A MRI EXAM.
