Some MRI exams require an IV injection, it is important for our technologists to have good lighting to be able to start an IV. If the light is too bright and uncomfortable please alert your technologist. We have eye/sleep masks available, these masks also help with claustrophobia and you get to keep it after your exam.
MRI Machines use very powerful magnets to achieve the highest quality images. These magnets produce heat and need to be kept cold to function properly. If you feel too cold during your exam please alert your technologist and they will be happy to provide you with a blanket.
You can find preparation information here.
Be sure your Physician sent a referral to SDMI or bring a copy with you.
The fastest way to get a copy of your results is by accessing the patient portal, please note reports and images are available in the portal once the radiologist signs off, this may take 3-5 business days.
