An
MRI will help doctors learn what they really need to know about
you.
What
exactly is an MRI?
MR stands for Magnetic Resonance, which is a powerful, dynamic
way for doctor’s to see inside our bodies to diagnose and
identify certain problems and diseases.
An
MR is not an x-ray but a combination of magnetic fields, radio
waves and a computer that all work together to create two or even
three-dimensional images of exactly what’s happening within
us.

You’ll
discover that MR testing is painless and much quicker than you think.
In fact, you’ll probably be very comfortable as you lie back on
the padded table. You may even be able to listen to your favorite music
as you’re scanned.
But
keep in mind that an MR isn’t for everyone. So be sure to inform
your physician if you have: a pacemaker, aneurysm clips in the brain,
a shunt with telesensor, inner ear implants, metal fragments in one
or both eyes, implanted spinal cord stimulators, or if you’re
pregnant, breast feeding or have anemia or any disease affecting red
blood cells.
Many
of your questions about MR are answered under the FAQ's,
but should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free
to consult your doctor.
