Depends on the: Imaging center or hospital. Larger locations and academic centers tend to perform more pelvic mri. It is no where near as common as brain, knee or shoulder mri. Plan on 45 minutes from leaving the waiting room until you return, with 15 to 30 minutes of that time being actual scanning, usually on the lower end. Sometimes contrast is administered via a vein.
