Do you have to get any injection for an mri on the spine and can you just wear normal clothes?

Contrast depends: When infection, inflammation, arthritis or tumor are considerations, usually inject intravenous contrast gadolinium. Many times uncontrasted for disk and nerve root problems.Patient changes into gown for test.No metals on patient, degrade image,damage MR.Have to inform technologist of any internal metal or foreign bodies Charge cards in pockets would be demagnetized, so wallet kept out of room.
