Please bring your insurance information on the day of your exam.
You will
be asked if you have ever had a bullet or shrapnel in your body,
or ever worked with metal. If there is any question of metal
fragments, you may be asked to arrive early to your appointment
to have an x-ray that will detect any such metal objects.
You will be
asked to remove anything that might degrade MRI images of the
head, including hairpins, jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and
any removable dental work.
Again, so as
not to degrade the images, you may be asked to change into a
gown that will have no metal such as zippers, snaps, hooks,
buckles or buttons.
The staff may
ask you about your medical history, including previous surgeries
and symptoms related to the area of interest being imaged.
You may take
any prescription medications as usual unless otherwise
instructed.
Please notify
the staff at our offices if you might be pregnant.
