What is MRI test?

How does ultrasound work?

This information is processed by the ultrasound machine in real time producing sonographic images of the inside of your body. You cannot hear the sounds and the study is generally painless.

Can you have an MRI in an enclosed room?

Some patients who have MRI in an enclosed scanner may feel confined, closed-in, and frightened. Perhaps one in twenty will require a sedative to remain calm. We have an “open” MRI at our Madison facility which is specifically designed to help those with claustrophobia. We will also permit a relative or friend to be present in the MR system room, which also has a calming effect. If patients are properly prepared and know what to expect, it is almost always possible to complete the examination.

Can you take an IV line off an MRI?

Any IV line will be removed. If you are undressed for the exam, you are taken back to the dressing room to put your clothes back on. Once the radiologist reviews your study and it is determined that no additional images or studies are needed, you will check out at the front desk. Depending on the order from your doctor, you will either stay while the report is given to your doctor or you will be free to leave and your doctor will discuss the study and results with you at a later time. All patients having an MRI are given a CD copy of their MRI study before leaving the facility.
