Spine MRI in Midtown Manhattan
Spine MRI in Midtown Manhattan
MRI exams require little preparation. Follow your doctor’s instructions and stay calm to ensure your scan goes smoothly.
The following information helps you prepare for your spine MRI:
- Eating & drinking – You may eat, drink, and take your medications as usual for most MRI exams. However, some specialty MRI exams have certain restrictions. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions if you need to refrain from consuming any food or drink a few hours before the scan when you schedule your exam if needed.
- Anxiety medication – You will be lying in an enclosed tube-shaped machine during the MRI. It can take some time, as long as an hour, to complete the scan. If you have ever dealt with claustrophobia, you will need some anti-anxiety medication to cope with the process. Talk to your doctor ahead of time, and explain your concerns as well as your history with claustrophobia. They will prescribe a medication you can take before the procedure starts to help you stay calm during the MRI.
- Strong magnetic environment – Tell the technologist if you have devices or metal in your body as they might interfere with the magnetic field inside the MRI machine and result in distorted images and inaccurate results. It is best not to apply any deodorants, antiperspirants, perfumes, or body lotions before the examination, as they may contain metal and could end up delaying or rescheduling your scan.
Based on your medical condition, your healthcare provider may have to make specific preparations to ensure they get the most accurate results.
