How does it work?
MRI machines use big magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the inside of your body.
Yes, they can be! It sounds like knocking or tapping, but it's just the machine at work.
Absolutely! MRI machines are very safe when used properly.
Before you go in, you'll need to remove anything metal so it doesn't interfere with the magnets.
You'll lie on a sliding bed that goes into the MRI machine. Just lie still and relax!
It's important to stay still so the pictures come out clear.
You won't feel the magnetic field or radio waves, and it doesn’t hurt at all!
It usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Once it's done, you can go back to your normal activities!
