Magnetic Resonance Imaging
|
MRI is one of the most accurate and advanced imaging tests available today. Here's what you need to know if your doctor prescribed an MRI for you:
-
It's a non-invasive way to take dozens of pictures inside your body in only 30-50 minutes.
-
The images are much clearer and more detailed than x-rays and can help your doctor give you a better, more complete diagnosis.
-
The MRI technology uses a magenetic field and a computer to construct your images.
-
Sometimes your doctor will prescribe an intravenous contrast "dye" to be given to during your MRI to enhance the visibility of your blood vessels or tissues.
Your physician can order your MRI to be performed at Homer Memorial Hospital as needed.
