Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI)
MRI is an imaging modality utilizing a high field strength magnet and radio frequency amplifier to provide a detailed image of the entire body. There is no ionizing radiation involved in an MRI study. At times, a contrast agent may be used for imaging, which would require IV access. Every exam performed is evaluated to meet the needs of each patient. Every person must be screened prior to entering the scan room due to the powerful magnetic field.Your physician or licensed staff will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for your exam.
