The equipment does not touch your body but you will hear buzzing and tapping noises from the machine. We will supply you with ear plugs and/or headphones, and can talk with you throughout the tests. Some patients also find it comforting to have a cloth or other item covering their eyes, which can help if you are feeling claustrophobic. We have all of these aids available for you. We provide music of your choice/headphones to improve you experience
Depending on your test, you may receive an injection during the MRI after initial images are taken. The injection is a “contrast” dye that helps to differentiate normal from abnormal tissues. Some patients describe a metallic taste or cool sensation after the injection. This is normal and usually subsides quickly.
The scan takes between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the purpose of your scan.
