Map
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is primarily used in medical imaging to visualize the structure and function of the body. MRI uses a large magnet to obtain radiation-free images.

How do I prepare?
An MRI poses no risk for most people. However, any metal in or on the body may affect the quality of the image and cause discomfort or injury during the procedure.

Before undergoing an MRI exam, be sure to inform your physician or the technologist if you are pregnant and/or if you have:
- A cardiac pacemaker
- Metal plate, pin or metallic implant
- An intrauterine device (IUD)
- Aneurysm clips
- Previous gunshot wound
- Ever worked with metal (such as grinding or welding)
