MRI

MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and soft tissues. It does not use X-rays.

What to expect

You lie on a table while images are taken. The scanner makes loud sounds, and you will be asked to remain still. Some studies require contrast.

Before your visit

Tell the team about implants, medical devices, pregnancy, or concerns about enclosed spaces before your visit. The center will provide screening and preparation instructions.
