Preparing for an MRI
MRI is a safe and painless method. A few simple steps will help your scan go smoothly and on time.
How to prepare
- Most scans need no special preparation — you can eat and drink as usual.
- For an abdominal MRI, do not eat for 4–6 hours before the scan.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early to fill in the questionnaire.
- Remove all metal objects before the scan: jewellery, watch, hairpins, belt.
Contraindications
Before the scan you confirm that you have no pacemaker, hearing implants or ferromagnetic fragments in your body.
Metal implants
Hearing implants, ferromagnetic fragments, metal hardware — please tell us about them when booking.
Pregnancy
Tell the doctor if you are pregnant. In the first trimester MRI is done only when strictly indicated.
Claustrophobia
Let us know in advance if you fear enclosed spaces — we will offer sedation.
Sedation
Sedation is available for children and for patients with claustrophobia or severe pain, so the scan goes calmly.
Contrast
Contrast agent is only given when prescribed by a doctor.
What to bring
- Passport or another ID document
- Doctor's referral (if you have one)
- Previous scan results: reports, discs
- Medical records related to your condition
