About the Exam

What is an MRI?

MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves (no ionizing radiation) to produce extremely detailed images of soft tissue, organs, and structures inside the body. MRI is the modality of choice for neurological, musculoskeletal, and many oncologic evaluations.

Key advantages

  • No ionizing radiation
  • Superior soft-tissue contrast vs. CT
  • Multi-plane imaging without repositioning the patient
Common Indications

Why your doctor may order an MRI

  • Brain and spine conditions (stroke, tumor, MS, disc disease)
  • Joint and ligament injuries (knee, shoulder, hip)
  • Soft tissue masses
  • Liver, pancreas, and pelvic conditions
  • Cardiac and breast imaging in select cases
Patient Experience

What to expect

  1. 1

    You'll change into a gown and remove all metal objects.

  2. 2

    You'll lie on a sliding table that enters a long tube-shaped magnet.

  3. 3

    The scan can take 20–60 minutes depending on the study.

  4. 4

    The machine produces loud knocking sounds — earplugs or headphones are provided.

  5. 5

    Some studies require IV contrast (gadolinium).

How to prepare

  • Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing if possible.
  • Tell us if you have any implants: pacemakers, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, metal fragments, or recent surgical hardware.
  • For contrast studies, no special fasting is typically required unless instructed.

Important Information

MRI uses a strong magnetic field that is always on. Inform the technologist of every implant, surgery, or metal exposure (including welding/grinding history) before entering the scan room.
