the bad thing about an MRI scan is if you are claustrophobic or don't like small spaces, it will be difficult because you have to wait there for a while.

another bad thing is that it is very expensive as the machine is expensive!

Do you have to fast before an MRI?

Eating Before Having An MRIFor certain kinds of MRI scan (e.g. an MRCP which looks at the biliary system) it's very important that you don't eat or drink for 4-6 hours before the scan.
