Please bring your insurance information on the day of your exam.

MRA - Magnetic Resonance Angiography

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.

CTA – Computed Tomography Angiography

You should dress comfortably but avoid any clothing in the area to be scanned that has a zipper, snaps or jewelry, since metal objects may affect the CT images.

You may also be asked to remove hairpins, jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids and any removable dental work, depending on the part of the body that is being scanned.

You will be asked in advance whether you have had allergies in the past or have ever had a serious reaction to medication.
The radiologist should be informed if you have asthma, multiple myeloma or any disorder of the heart, kidneys or thyroid gland, or if you have diabetes - particularly if you are taking Glucophage.

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.
