How Does an MRI Work?
It uses strong magnets and radio waves to take pictures of your insides.
You might wear a hospital gown and remove metal objects because they can interfere with the magnets.
You lie down on a sliding table that goes into a tunnel-like space.
The technician operates the machine from another room, and you can talk to them through a microphone.
It can take anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour, depending on what's being checked.
It’s very important to stay still while the pictures are being taken to make sure they come out clear.
MRI can quickly give doctors detailed pictures to help diagnose and treat health issues.
MRIs are safe and don’t use radiation, making them a good choice for seeing inside your body.
