A member asked:
What to do if i am getting an mri done, am i getting injected with anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Some MRI is performed with IV contrast (gadolinium), but many are done without IV contrast. You have not told what body part is being scanned or why, which makes it difficult to answer your question. The doctor who ordered the exam sgould be able to tell you if it will be with IV contrast or not.
