Is there any risk?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is very safe. There are no health risks associated with the magnetic field or the radio waves used by the machine. However, some special circumstances limit the use of a magnetic field. It is important for you to tell us if you have any of the following:

     • Cardiac pacemaker or artificial heart valve
     • Metal plate, pin or other metallic implant
     • Intrauterine device, such as Copper-7 IUD
     • Insulin pump or other infusion pump
     • Aneurysm clips
     • Previous gun wound
     • Inner ear implant
     • Metal fragments in your eye or other parts of your body
     • Permanent (tattoo) eyeliner

How should I prepare for the exam?
No special preparation is needed. You can eat normally and take medication as usual, unless your doctor has given you other instructions. You may find it easier to relax if you avoid drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages prior to your exam.

How long will the exam take?
The length of the exam depends on the type of MRI exam your doctor has ordered. Most exams are completed within 30 to 60 minutes.

How do I get my exam results?
After your exam, the radiologist will review your images and a report will be sent directly to your doctor. Reports are available within 24 hours. Your doctor will discuss the results of the exam with you.
