An MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues inside your body. It helps in diagnosing various conditions without the need for surgery.
Your doctor may recommend an MRI to get a clearer view of potential issues such as joint pain, soft tissue injuries, or to monitor certain medical conditions. It’s a key tool in helping us understand your health better.
Yes, MRIs are considered safe for most patients. They do not use ionizing radiation, making them a safer alternative to X-rays or CT scans. However, if you have certain implants or devices, please inform our staff before your scan.
During your MRI, you will lie on a comfortable table that slides into the MRI machine. You may hear loud noises during the scan, but you will be provided with earplugs or headphones for comfort. The entire process usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Preparation varies by type of MRI, but generally, you should wear comfortable clothing without metal. Avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before your appointment if instructed by your doctor.
Typically, your doctor will discuss your MRI results with you within a few days. Our team will ensure that you receive the information as soon as it’s available to help guide your treatment plan.
