A member asked:
Do i have to go into the mri machine fully if having the liver scanned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your liver has to be in the center of the MRI tunnel so your head will have to be inside the machine. If you were scanning your knee or ankle, then your head would be outside of the machine.
