Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) High-Field MRI

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. As the name suggests, the scanner produces a magnetic field. In the presence of this harmless magnetic field, the hydrogen atoms in your body act like small magnets. A combination of this magnetic field and radio frequencies provides the resonance required to produce the desired images.

While the vast majority of people will have no difficulty being scanned with MRI, there are a few considerations, most of which have been covered already by your referring physician. You cannot be scanned if you have a pacemaker, cerebral aneurysm clips, or cochlear implants. Most implants (artificial joints, etc.) are now composed of titanium or other non-ferrous metal, but, should you have any questions regarding any possible metal in your body, which have not already been answered by your physician, please ask them before your visit.
