Information About the MRI Experience

The MRI Group is committed to providing an exceptional experience for all patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced technology that produces high-resolution images of the body’s internal organs, bones, tissues and other structures. MRI generates clearer, higher-contrast images than most other imaging technologies—allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.

Unlike an X-ray, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, so it can be used safely on infants and pregnant women. Instead of radiation, MRI uses two natural forces—magnetism and radio frequency waves—to produce clear, detailed images.

Another test we offer is magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), which is an MRI study looking at blood vessels. Some areas that may be imaged are the vessels in the head, neck, legs, pelvis and abdomen.

A board-certified, licensed radiologist will review your MRI or MRA images and share the results with your physician.

MRI is a painless exam that lasts 20 to 60 minutes.

Sometimes we use a safe medical dye to highlight certain parts of the body. In most cases, we will inject this contrast material intravenously (IV). If you need it, we will let you know in advance.

Before Your MRI Appointment

Before your appointment date, we’ll call to confirm and will also review your medical history and give you additional information about your MRI.
There is generally no preparation required for an MRI, but below is information to keep in mind: 
 

  • Most MRIs do not require you to fast. You may have to fast for some abdominal exams.
  • Take your regular medications as your physician has directed. This includes prescribed pain medication that you take regularly. We want you to be comfortable during your MRI.
  • Before your visit, let us know if you have a pacemaker, aneurysm clips, inner ear implants, metal fragments in your eyes or a spinal cord stimulator.
  • Please bring your physician referral, insurance cards, photo identification, billing information, and a list of current medications with you on the day of your exam.
  • Please plan to arrive at the MRI Group facility where you are scheduled 30 minutes before your appointment.

See our General MRI Frequently Asked Questions and our Breast MRI Frequently Asked Questions for more details.
