Top Questions Patients Ask About an MRI
What is an MRI, and how does it work?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. It helps doctors diagnose a wide range of conditions affecting organs, tissues, and joints, without the use of radiation.
Is an MRI safe?
Yes, MRI is generally very safe. It does not use ionizing radiation like X-rays or CT scans. However, because it uses a powerful magnet, it’s important to inform your doctor if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, or other medical devices before undergoing the scan.
How long does an MRI take?
The length of an MRI scan can vary depending on the area being examined. Most scans take between 15 and 60 minutes. Advanced MRI systems with AI-powered technology, like the MAGNETOM Lumina, can reduce scan times significantly.
What should I expect during the MRI?
You’ll lie still on a table that slides into the MRI machine. The machine may make loud tapping or thumping sounds during the scan, but earplugs or headphones are usually provided. However, the MAGNETOM Lumina uses innovative noise reduction technology to lessen the sounds.
Do I need to prepare for an MRI?
Most MRI scans require little to no special preparation. However, you may be asked to avoid eating before certain types of scans, and you’ll need to remove metal objects like jewelry, watches, or belts. If a contrast agent is used, your doctor will give you specific instructions.
