What is an MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced, non-invasive diagnostic imaging exam that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create exceptionally detailed images of the body's internal structures. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it an important imaging option for many conditions.
MRI allows physicians to evaluate soft tissues, organs, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, cartilage, and blood vessels with remarkable clarity. Because of this level of detail, MRI often helps detect abnormalities that may not be visible on other imaging studies.
In some situations, MRI findings may reduce the need for additional testing or help determine whether a biopsy or surgical procedure is truly necessary. However, if tissue analysis is required to confirm a diagnosis—such as for certain cancers or other conditions—a biopsy may still be recommended. MRI is an invaluable tool for guiding clinical decisions, but it does not replace biopsy when microscopic examination of tissue is needed.
Our experienced team combines advanced MRI technology with compassionate patient care to deliver high-quality images that your physician can rely on for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
By providing highly accurate diagnostic information, an MRI can help your healthcare provider:
Diagnose injuries and medical conditions earlier.
Confirm or rule out suspected diseases.
Plan the most appropriate treatment.
Monitor recovery after surgery or therapy.
Evaluate whether a condition is improving or progressing.
Avoid unnecessary or more invasive diagnostic procedures when imaging findings are sufficient to establish or strongly support a diagnosis.
What to expect
1. Check In
Arrive approximately 15–20 minutes before your appointment to complete registration, verify your information, and prepare for your exam. Please have your photo ID, insurance card, and any requested documents available.
2. Safety Screening
Before your MRI, you'll complete a comprehensive safety questionnaire about previous surgeries, implanted medical devices, metal fragments, and other important health information to ensure your exam is performed safely.
3. Your MRI Exam
Your technologist will position you comfortably on the MRI table and explain each step of the procedure. The scanner will obtain detailed images while you remain as still as possible. Most MRI exams take 20–60 minutes, depending on the study being performed.
4. Results
MRI results are completed within 24 hours. A board-certified radiologist carefully interprets your images and prepares a detailed report for your referring healthcare provider, who will review the findings with you and discuss any recommended next steps.
MRI Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most MRI exams take between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the area being examined. Your appointment may take a little longer to allow for check-in and safety screening.
