Important Questions to Ask the Radiologist before going for MRI Scan Miami

MRI Scan
 
There could be a number of reasons why your doctor recommended an MRI Scan Miami during your visit to the physician for your ailment. The main purpose of conducting an MRI scan is to examine the internal organs of the body and their functionality with preciseness.
 
One can get the MRI scan done in half an hour, which can take up to one hour depending on the type of the scan and the complexities associated with it. But before you think you are completely ready for the scanning, you need ask few questions from your radiologist.
 
Here is the list of some questions that must be asked on priority.
 

How long would the Procedure Last? Is there any Side-effect?

It is important to ask about the overall time duration for the MRI test, which would give you an idea about the scan and to prepare yourself for the same. Also, the scan may or may not cause minor side-effects depending on the individual’s body, but you should always emphasize on questioning the radiologist for the same.
 
You can ask them openly about the side-effects of the test and it is strictly recommended that you should convey them your brief history of taking medicines. Depending on the type of medicine that you are taking, your scan procedure would be altered. So it is a good decision to ask in advance.
 

What should be My Diet Before and After the Scan?

Another important question that you should ask the MRI Miami service provider should be regarding your diet. There are some procedures that allow you to take only liquid diet before the scan and thus; it is mandatory for you to ask the radiologist about the type of diet that you should take on the day of the scan.
 
It is important to also ask about the post-scanning diet. In many cases, the patient is given some sedatives before the procedure. You need to strictly emphasize on the precautions associated with those sedatives as guided by your diagnostic center Miami.
 

What should I Wear on the Day of Scan?

It is always a wise decision to wear the clothes that make you feel comfortable. You need not wear those skinny jeans or shirts that make you uncomfortable as you may undergo certain procedures where the radiologist may ask you to loosen your clothes.
 
These were some basic questions that you should always ask before an MRI scan Miami.
