The preparation for medical imaging exams depends on the type of exam and the body part being examined. Some general tips are:

  • Eat normally and take your usual medications, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor or the imaging specialist
  • Remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, glasses, dentures, or hearing aids, that might interfere with the magnetic field or the images
  • Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing, or change into a hospital gown if required
  • Inform your doctor or the imaging staff if you have any allergies, medical conditions, implants, or devices that may affect the exam. For example, you may need to have blood tests or stop taking certain medications before a procedure in interventional radiology5, or you may need to have special precautions if you have a pacemaker or metal implants before an MRI exam

Our experienced doctors, nurses and imaging technologists treat you with courtesy and respect in a safe and friendly environment. We’ll take time to answer your questions and make sure you’re comfortable with your procedure, especially if you are anxious, claustrophobic or have special needs.
