MRI Scan Centres in Cox Town

Before your MRI scan, follow these preparatory steps to ensure a comfortable and effective scan. Here are some recommendations to help you prepare for the MRI scan:

• Before an MRI scan, you should remove any metal items from your body since the magnetic field might pose safety concerns or degrade picture quality. This includes earrings, hearing aids, dentures, and even piercings. If you have a medical device, such as a pacemaker, you must tell the medical professionals ahead of time since not all devices are safe to use during an MRI.
• You should also advise the medical personnel if you have any tattoos or permanent cosmetics, as some darker inks include metal. If you are pregnant or nursing, or have kidney or liver issues, you should see your doctor before the scan.
• Eat regularly and take your regular medications on the day of the scan, unless otherwise indicated. You will be asked to change into a gown and remove any clothing or things that may interfere with the scan.
• If you have a fear of enclosed places (claustrophobia), a sedative may be administered to assist you relax during the scan. To obtain clear photos, you must remain motionless during the scan, and you will be able to converse with the technician throughout.
