For your appointment, bring your driver’s license, insurance information, and doctor’s prescription. Our staff will ask you about your medical history to verify that it is safe for you to receive an MRI scan.
Make sure to wear comfortable loose fitting clothing like sweatpants. For modesty reasons, dresses and skirts are not recommended. Remember that metal objects can ruin your MRI scan. You should avoid wearing any metal to your examination (i.e. jewelry, body piercings, hair pins, zippers, belt buckles, etc.). Remove any make-up from the area to be scanned and inform our technician if you have any tattoos (both may contain metallic particles). If you do not have any suitable clothing, we can always provide a gown.
There are no dietary restrictions for an Open MRI Scan. You may take your regular medications as usual prior to and after your scan, unless otherwise informed by your doctor.
