There is no special preparation for an MRI examination.
There is no need for a change in daily routine. All
prescription medications can be taken normally. However,
patients undergoing MRI examination of the pelvis and
abdomen will be asked not to eat or drink for 4 hours
prior to imaging. No special preparation is required
for other body examinations.
Exams are performed by registered
MRI Technologists. When you arrive for your appointment
and complete the necessary paperwork, one of our technologists
or tech-aides will greet you in the lobby and escort you to the scan
area. The technologist or tech-aide will review the health-history/exam
forms you completed to ensure you are properly prepared
for the exam. A technologist will also explain
the exam and answer any questions.
