What does insurance regard an MRI as a surgical procedure or a lab test?
I don't know what your particular insurance regards it as, but if they consider it a surgical procedure, they have no idea what it is. It's very definitely a test. The only technique I can think of that might have "imaging" in it's name (the I in MRI) that would be a surgical procedure is "We cut him open and took a Polaroid picture of his innards."
What are some contraindications for an MRI?
There are different types of MRI devices, however, one of the biggest and most common things that would disqualify a patient getting an MRI would be metal in the body. Surgical pins, staples in the stomach and the like.

Can have MRI after hernia surgery?
Yes, you can typically have an MRI after hernia surgery, but it's important to consult your surgeon or healthcare provider first. They will consider factors such as the type of surgical mesh used, your recovery progress, and any specific concerns related to your condition. In most cases, MRI is safe and can be performed once you have healed sufficiently.
Is it better to have arthroscope or MRI?
Well, an arthroscopy is an invasive procedure. They actually look into whatever joint you need examined. On the other hand, an MRI is exactly that, an image or picture of the joint in question. So the option is totally yours...minor surgical procedure or...a picture, you pick.
Can I have an MRI if I have cholecystectomy clips in place?
Yes, you can typically have an MRI if you have cholecystectomy clips in place, as most surgical clips used in these procedures are made of materials that are MRI-safe. However, it's important to inform your healthcare provider and the MRI technician about your clips before the procedure. They will review your specific case and any potential considerations based on the type of clips used. Always follow the guidance of your medical team regarding any imaging procedures.

Will my head be out of the MRI for an MRI of my tibia?
If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.
Can i have an mri if i have surgical staples?
Surgical staples are made of non-magnetic stainless steel, however, you never know how much trace amounts of magnetic material may remain. Every manufacturer has different standards. They'll ask you before the procedure if you have any metal at all within your body, so they'll tell you if it's okay or not. Another option is a CT scan which is just as effective when done with contrast dye. Since I have a lot of metal in me it interferes with an MRI, so I've had to get CT's done for the past10 years.
