HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR AN MRI?
No preparatory tests, diets, or medications are usually needed. Occasionally, the person may be asked to fast for 4 to 6 hours prior to the scan. You must sign a consent form. Because of the strong magnets, no metallic objects are allowed into the room. Items such as jewelry, watches, credit cards, and hearing aids can be damaged. Pins, hairpins, metal zippers, and similar metallic items can distort the images. Frequent exposure to ferrous metals (such as a sheet metal worker has) may require clearance film before the MRI. A hospital gown may be recommended, or you may be allowed to wear "sweats" or similar clothing without metal fasteners. Removable dental work should be taken out just prior to the scan.
