You may be asked to wear a hospital gown during the MRI scan.
As the MRI scan begins, you will hear the equipment making a variety of different sounds, including a muffled thumping sound or banging sound that will last for several minutes at a time. Other than that sound, you should experience no unusual sensations during the scanning.
Certain MRI exams require an injection of a contrast material. This helps identify abnormalities in certain parts of the body on the scan images.
Feel free to ask questions and tell the technologist or doctor if you have any concerns.
