RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)? IS MRI FOR
EVERYONE?
Other certain medical conditions may prevent individuals from having an MRI. Please inform your physician and our center personnel at the time of scheduling if you have any of the following:
It is very important that if you are
pregnant or there is a possibility of pregnancy, or if you are breast
feeding, that you inform your physician and the center personnel prior to
your MRI. HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN MRI? Please wear comfortable clothing while avoiding metallic objects such as a sweat suit without zippers, snaps, or metal buttons which can interfere with the magnetic field. A patient coordinator will assist you with the preparation when you arrive. If you have any questions please feel free to ask at anytime. CAN I CHOOSE THE TYPE OF MRI SCANNER I AM COMFORTABLE WITH? Yes. If you have had a MRI scan in the past and had difficulty due to claustrophobia, you are not alone. Claustrophobic reactions can range from a general unease in being in tight, enclosed areas to posttraumatic stress syndrome. If you are a large frame individual and have had difficulty with a closed MRI scanner, the Stand-UpTM MRI may be a better choice for you. This scanner has an unprecedented degree of patient comfort due to the unobstructed view when being scanned. You can even watch a movie during the procedure. Simply ask your doctor to refer you to our nearest Stand-UpTM MRI center. |
