MRI FAQs: Addressing Your Concerns

General

An MRI scan is a safe and painless imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of your body. It helps diagnose a wide range of conditions, from injuries to tumors.

MRI scans are generally very safe and don’t involve any radiation exposure. However, certain metallic implants or devices may be incompatible with MRI. Inform your healthcare provider of any medical implants or devices you have before the scan.

You’ll typically need to remove any metal objects, including jewelry and clothing with metal fasteners. Depending on the type of scan, you may also need to fast or avoid certain medications. Our team will provide you with specific instructions before your appointment.

The duration varies depending on the area being scanned and the number of images required. It can range from 15 to 60 minutes.

Specific Concerns

MRI scans are generally avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy. If you’re pregnant or think you might be, inform your healthcare provider before scheduling an MRI.

Some metal implants may be safe for MRI, but others can pose a risk. It’s crucial to inform your healthcare provider of any implants or devices you have before the scan.

The scan itself is painless. However, you’ll need to lie still inside the MRI machine, which can be noisy. Earplugs or headphones may be provided to reduce the noise.

If you’re anxious about enclosed spaces, let our team know. We can offer strategies to help you feel more comfortable, or in some cases, sedation may be an option.

The 3T MRI offers double the power of a standard MRI, producing clearer images and faster scan times.
