How do I prepare for an MRI?
- Before your MRI scan, eat normally and take your usual medicines unless your doctor tells you not to.
- It’s very important to remove all objects that may contain metal or electronics (jewelry such as rings or earrings, hairpins, dentures, watches and hearing aids) before the test.
- Don’t bring your credit or debit cards into the MRI room. The machine might erase or damage the magnetic strip on the back of the cards.
- If you have any implants or clips in your body, have your doctor write a note to indicate if they are safe for MRI.
