MRI
Magnetic
Resonance
Imaging
This modality uses a powerful magnet to produce images of your body.
Usually there is no preparation for this exam.
Often an injection of contrast is administered during the exam, for this reason, recent blood test results are required for all patients.
Scheduling Your Exam
An appointment is necessary for digestive track and/or urological exams requiring fasting from midnight prior to the exam or other preparation. For other routine diagnostic exams (i.e. chest, skeletal, etc.), an appointment is not required, but is recommended for more timely service.
If you have a pacemaker or defibrillator, you are NOT
a candidate for an MRI.
The MRI questionnaire will establish whether an MRI can be performed safely.
Often we are able to accommodate your imaging needs on the day that you call for an appointment. However, exams that require preparation may have to be scheduled on a later date.
CALL Central Registration at 631-477-5121. Monday through Friday, 8 AM – 3 PM to schedule your appointment.
