Preparation for your MRI procedure will depend upon the type of exam you are having. Specific instructions for each MRI exam are linked below after the Patient’s Step by Step Guide to MRI.

Preparation

If you’ve had an allergic reaction to a contrast agent in any prior imaging exam, please notify our staff before your appointment.
Prior to the exam, eat normally and take your medication as usual (unless your physician has given you other instructions.)
Leave your valuables at home. All jewelry and any metal objects must be removed prior to the exam.
Wear comfortable clothing without zippers, snaps or metal buttons. Or, you may change into a hospital gown or scrubs after arriving.
Please notify the technologist if you are pregnant or could be pregnant.
Please bring all relevant prior examination films or studies (CT, MRI, ultrasound, x-rays, etc.) with you on the day of your exam.
For your listening pleasure, bring a music CD to listen to with headphones during the exam.
If sedation is requested, please call for instructions. You will need to arrange for someone to drive you home.
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your exam.
