What to do if i am having my first mri tomorrow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing tonight : an MRI is a completely noninvasive study. It involves lying on a table inside a medical imaging device for 30 minutes to an hour. The device makes loud sounds but there are often ear plugs or music provided during the scan. There is nothing you need to do beforehand unless you are claustrophobic in which case your Dr may provide you with something to relax.
