    Test Preparation

    To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guideline:

    • Fasting: Not required, unless contrast dye is used, in which case fasting for 4-6 hours may be needed.
    • Clothing & Accessories: Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal (zippers, buttons, jewelry). You may need to change into a hospital gown.
    • Metal Objects: Remove hearing aids, glasses, dentures, earrings, or piercings, as MRI uses strong magnets.
    • Medical Implants: Inform the radiologist if you have pacemakers, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, or metallic implants, as MRI may not be safe.
    • Claustrophobia: If you are claustrophobic (fear of enclosed spaces), let your doctor know. A mild sedative may be given.
    • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, especially if contrast dye is needed.
    • Contrast Dye (if applicable): If contrast is used, inform the technician about any history of allergies, kidney disease, or asthma.
