What happens during an exam?
During the scan you will lie awake on a comfortable table like bed. Nothing will touch your body, and you will feel no strange sensations or pain. Blankets will be provided to keep you warm, as the magnet and computers require a cooler temperature than may be normally comfortable to you. A two-way intercom will be provided so that you may communicate with the technologist at all times if any concerns arise. The entire examination should take less than one hour. The actual scanning occurs during only a part of this time. It is important to remain still and relaxed while in the magnet, and we will accommodate any needs that may enhance your comfort level.
