If you do receive medication for this, please bring someone with you to drive you home. You CANNOT have the exam if you have any of the following: -cerebral aneurysm clips -certain heart valves -cochlear implants -metal filings in the eye -pacemaker If your occupational background includes metal work (welder, grinder, etc.) please be sure to tell the technologist prior to the exam. This may require you to have an x-ray prior to your appointment to ensure no foreign bodies are identified. You may eat and take your usual medications before the exam. Make sure to drink extra fluids prior to appointment so you are well hydrated. Dress comfortably - sweatpants and sneakers are perfect! Do not wear clothes with metal zippers, buttons or snaps. P L E A S E D O N O T W E A R Y O G A P A N T S . We suggest bringing or wearing elastic waist pants such as cotton sweatpants or pajama bottoms that can be worn during the exam.

If you have a jewelry that cannot be removed, we will test it for metal attraction. W h a t y o u c a n e x p e c t d u r i n g t h e e x a m Breast MRI is a relatively comfortable and easy exam. You will be asked to lie on your stomach on a cushioned bed. Your breasts will be positioned within a padded opening on the bed. The bed will move into the magnet for the exam and you will hear a muffled thumping sound intermittently throughout the exam. Most breast MRI exams require an injection of a contrast agent called gadolinium. An intravenous catheter (I.V.) for this injection will be placed in your arm before you lie on the bed.

W h a t i s M R I ? Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is an advanced, state-of-the-art, medical imaging method. MRI uses a powerful but harmless magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of specific body structures and organs. MRI scans pose minimal risks to most patients if safety guidelines are followed.
