Please follow the following preparation: 
You will be asked to drink water before your exam.

Instructions: 
Safety is of utmost importance to us. If you need help standing or walking, please have someone come with you to your Diagnostic Imaging appointment. 

Claustrophobia: MRI exams can cause people to feel claustrophobic due to the design of the machine. The technologists will work with you to provide comfort for the exam. If you are claustrophobic, please have your physician prescribe an anti-anxiety medication to take the day of the study. For your safety you will be required to have a designated driver to drive you home once the study is complete.
