It is generally recommended to avoid vigorous exercise before an MRI, as it can affect the imaging results. Exercise can increase blood flow and heart rate, which may lead to artifacts on the images or make it harder to interpret the results accurately. It is best to follow the specific instructions given by your healthcare provider or the imaging center to ensure the best possible imaging quality.

Yes, an MRI typically requires prior authorization from the insurance company before it can be performed.
Cochlear implants have magnets in them which interfere with the MRI process. The magnet from the implant will require removal before the MRI exam, but can be replaced after the scan. There are cochlear implants nowadays which can undergo medical procedures such as MRI's without removing anything.

Great question. I had some difficulty locating specific MRI tech programs online. That being said, you can take a radiology program with a major in MRI's. Most of the online programs ask that you have some experience in radiography before specializing in MRI's. However, DeVry does offer MRI tech classes online. You could start there. Good Luck.
