Frequently Asked Questions
How to prepare for an MRI?
Preparing for your scan is simple. You should wear loose, comfortable clothing without any metal fasteners, zippers, or buttons. You will need to remove all metal objects, including jewelry, watches, and hairpins, as they can interfere with the magnetic field. Depending on the specific type of scan you are receiving, you may be asked to refrain from eating or drinking for a few hours prior to your appointment.
What should I expect during the scan?
The process is entirely non-invasive and painless. You will lie down on a padded table that glides into the wide bore scanner. While the machine takes images, you will hear a rhythmic knocking or thumping sound. We provide headphones with music of your choice to help block out the noise and keep you relaxed. Most scans take between 15 and 30 minutes.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Because the machine uses powerful magnets and radio waves instead of ionizing radiation, it is extremely safe. There are no known side effects associated with the magnetic field itself. If your scan requires a contrast dye to enhance the images, there is a very small risk of a mild allergic reaction, which our medical staff is fully trained to manage.
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
Yes, most medical imaging procedures, including MRI scans, require a referral or order from your treating physician or healthcare provider. Once you have that order, you can easily schedule your visit at any of our Wisconsin centers.
