Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures that are inside the body. MRIs allow physicians to see extremely detailed images of the inside of the human body that cannot be seen with other diagnostic imaging. An MRI is one of the safest, most comfortable imaging techniques available.

How to prepare for an MRI?

• All patients should complete our Patient Intake Form before their appointment.
• Patients scheduled for an MRI exam must remove all metallic objects from their body before their exam.
• For patients that have been scheduled for a MRI with a contrast material, please inform the facility staff or the technologist of any of the following as they may pose a higher risk to have a negative reaction to the contrast material:
  • Any information of a history of asthma, allergies, kidney problems, diabetes, heart problems, or thyroid problems.

An Open MRI uses the same technology as a Closed MRI, but has a much larger opening compared to a Closed MRI. In recent years Open MRI technology has made huge improvements in magnet power, computing capacity, and image construction that Open High Field MRIs such as the Hitachi Oasis can produce images on par with Closed High Field MRIs.

How to prepare for an Open MRI?

• All patients should complete our Patient Intake Form before their appointment.
• Patients scheduled for an MRI exam must remove all metallic objects from their body before their exam.
• For patients that have been scheduled for a MRI with a contrast material, please inform the facility staff or the technologist of any of the following as they may pose a higher risk to have a negative reaction to the contrast material:Any information of a history of asthma, allergies, kidney problems, diabetes, heart problems, or thyroid problems.

A computed tomography (CT) scan, also known as a CAT scan, uses X-rays to make highly detailed pictures of the inside of the human body. A CT scan involves the patient laying down on mechanical table that is inserted into the CT machine. A scanner takes X-rays images and spins around the patient as the table moves into the machine, which is compiled into a cross sectional image. A CT scan can be used to study all parts of the body including organs, blood vessels, bones, chest, abdomen, extremities, and the spinal cord. A CT may be required in cases where the patient has a condition that prevents the use of an MRI such as a metal implant, shrapnel, pacemakers, etc.

How to prepare for a CT scan?

• All patients should complete our Patient Intake Form before their appointment.
• Patients scheduled for a CT scan leave all jewelry and non-essential personal items.
• For patients that have been scheduled for a CT with a contrast material, please inform the facility staff or the technologist of any of the following as they may indicate a higher risk to have a negative reaction to the contrast material:Any information of a history of asthma, allergies, kidney problems, diabetes, heart problems, or thyroid problems.

X-Ray also known as Radiography is the oldest and most widely used form of diagnostic imaging in the world. X-Rays help doctors to properly diagnose a patients injuries and determine the treatment plan that is needed.

How to prepare for an X-Ray scan?

All patients should complete our Patient Intake Form before their appointment.

Depending on the study being performed patients scheduled for an X-Ray will either lie on a mechanical table or be asked to remain standing for the duration of the procedure. During the exam, the technologist may ask you to hold an uncomfortable position for a few seconds. Patients may be asked to hold their breath during parts of the exam as any amount of movement can result in necessitating additional imaging. You will be in constant contact with the X-Ray technologist should there be any problem or concern during your exam.
