MRI Scanning a single area without contrast will take about 20-40 minutes on the High Field MRI Scanner and 30-45 minutes on the High Field OPEN MRI. If the doctor has ordered multiple body parts to be scanned, then the scans will take longer. CT Scanning will take about 10 minutes for each test ordered. For PET Scans, plan to be here for about 2 hours. The scan itself will take about 35 minutes. Ultrasounds take about 20 minutes.
