Follow Instructions
Your doctor will give you specific instructions like fasting or what to wear. Follow them closely!
Arrive a little early to fill out any necessary paperwork and to relax before your scan.
Don’t hesitate to ask your technician any questions you have about the scan.
Choose loose, comfortable clothing without metals, especially for MRIs.
Use deep breathing techniques to stay calm and still during your scan.
Staying as still as possible ensures the clearest images. Imagine you’re posing for a portrait!
If the machine makes you feel closed in, close your eyes and imagine being somewhere peaceful.
Keep a positive mindset. Think about how this scan will help keep you healthy.
