Most people are great candidates for having an MRI examination. If you have a pacemaker or other electrical device implanted in your body, please notify your clinician who can help determine if an MRI examination is appropriate.

Additionally, if you have metallic fragments or other metallic implants in your body, an MRI scan may not be the best examination for you. Other possible concerns include any special care needs, claustrophobia, and having a large build.

Discussing these with your clinician ahead of time can allow us to accommodate your needs, prescribe anti-anxiety medications, and perform other preemptive tasks that should help your examination go smoothly.
