Accurate Diagnoses Begin with Proper Preparation:

To ensure optimal results during your MRI scan at IDC, it’s essential to be appropriately prepared. Here are some preparation tips:

Inform About Metallic Implants: Before the MRI scan, inform us if you have any metallic medical implants or devices in your body, such as cochlear (ear) implants, pacemakers, surgical clips, or artificial heart valves. We will assess the safety of undergoing the scan or determine if additional precautions are necessary.

Dress Comfortably: Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal buttons, zippers, or clasps. IDC may provide you with a hospital gown for the procedure if required. Avoid wearing jewelry, watches, or any accessories that could interfere with the MRI scan.

Fasting Requirements: In most cases, you will be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the scan to ensure optimal image quality. However, you may need to drink a contrast agent for specific MRI scans. In such instances, follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding fasting and contrast agent consumption.

Medication Information: Inform your healthcare provider and the MRI technologist about any medications you take, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. They will guide you on whether you need to discontinue any medications before the scan and for how long.

MRI Procedure: Our staff will guide you to the MRI room on the scan day. You will be asked to lie still on a flatbed that gradually moves into the scanner. The scan time varies depending on the examined area but typically ranges from 15 to 50 minutes. To ensure precise and accurate images, relax and remain as still as possible throughout the procedure.

Safety Considerations for Pregnant Women: MRI scans do not use ionizing radiation and are generally considered safe during pregnancy. However, the decision to perform an MRI during pregnancy should be made on a case-by-case basis, weighing potential risks and benefits, and in consultation with your healthcare provider.
