About This Service

A Closed MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine is the most common and advanced type of MRI scanner. It is a large, tube-shaped machine that completely surrounds the patient, allowing for stronger magnetic fields and higher-quality imaging compared to open MRI machines. Closed MRI exams are completely non-invasive, do not use x-rays, and provide extremely detailed images of organs, soft tissues, and other internal structures. These precise images help doctors diagnose a wide range of medical conditions with accuracy and confidence.

General Guidelines:

A Closed MRI exam usually takes approximately 45 minutes. Arrive at least 15 minutes early to verify your registration information and complete patient registration forms. Please make sure you have your insurance cards with you. Patients will need to remove all metal in preparation for their exam. Bring previous scans with you to the exam if you are instructed to do so. Notify your physician and our staff if there is any chance that you may be pregnant or are currently breastfeeding. Please do not bring small unaccompanied children for your MRI, as they may not enter the exam room with you. Our staff will send the results of your exam directly to your physician within 24 hours. Your physician will discuss the results with you at your next scheduled appointment or by telephone.
