The technologist and /or the MRI nurse will help you onto a padded examination table where you will be comfortably situated. If your Physician has ordered medication to help you complete your MRI, then monitors blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, etc may be placed on you so that MRI nurse can better manage your care. While the machine is taking pictures, you will hear knoking noises made by the scanner which is normal and is no cause for alarm. We will provide you with earplugs to make you comfortable while the scan is making noise. The most important thing to remember is that you must remain very still during the study as motion causes the image to blur. throughout the test, you will be able to speak to the technologist when the noise stops. Please communicate your needs, should you have any, to the technologist at these times. Most single exams take from 30-45 minutes, however they will spend the time needed to obtain a diagnostic exam while keeping you comfortable.
