MRI Preparation

For most MRI examinations no preparation is required.
Please eat and drink as normal and continue to take all of your regular medications unless we ask you otherwise.
It is advisable to leave all jewellery and valuables at home as you will be requested to remove all of these for every examination.
We ask you to arrive 15 minutes before your scan appointment time so we can take you through to a changing area. You will be asked to change into a gown that we provide. This will occur for all examinations.
Occasionally, claustrophobia is a problem. If there is concern about this possibility, please discuss this with your GP prior to your appointment and take some oral sedation prior to your scan. This will help to make it a more enjoyable experience for you and will enable us to obtain the best images possible.
