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.
