On the day of the MRI exam, you can eat and take any medications as usual. Because metal can interfere with the magnet inside the MRI, you will be asked to remove any metal objects (watch, jewelry, pens, eyeglasses, and dentures). Please let our technician know if you have any metal within your body (pins, plates, implants, shrapnel), or if you are breast- feeding or might be pregnant.

MRI is a versatile diagnostic tool and is used to identify a variety of injuries, illnesses and diseases. Your doctor can explain the specific reasons for ordering your MRI exam.
