A member asked:
How long will an mri with and without contrast take for the area of the brain, cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine?

MRI Time: The actual procedure for the MRI could take up to approx 45 minutes for each level. A ct scan takes less time but does expose you to radiation. The MRI does not expose you to radiation.

MRI: Based on the time required for each anatomical region, the quality and number of MRI sequences may be short changed if more than two regions are examined in a single session.
