For safety reasons, you will be asked to change into agown. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your exam, unless you are instructed otherwise.  \n􀁸 Abdomen exams: No food or liquids four (4) hours prior to the MRI exam.  \n􀁸 Pelvis exams: No food or liquids after midnight the night prior to the exam.  \n􀁸 Diabetic Patients: You may have a light meal (tea and toast) before the exam and you may bring a snack with you should you require food while in the office. Please contact us to coordinate medication and diet prior to exam.  \nIt is important that you bring the following with you on the day of your appointment:  \n􀁸 A copy of the prescription for your examination if it was given to you.  \n􀁸 A list of your current medications.  \n􀁸 Your insurance information.  \nWhat can I expect on the day of my appointment?  \nWhen you arrive in our office, you will be asked to verify your identification and exam. Patient verification is an important part of your safety and you will be asked to verify your identification several times during your appointment. Our checkin staff will ask you to complete registration forms that will allow us to collect your medical history and any necessary insurance information. One of our technologists will then escort you to the changing area and review your medical history. You will be asked to remove and place your electronic devices, wallet, ATM/credit cards, metro-card, watch, jewelry, belt, hairpins, eyeglasses, hearing aid, or any removable dental work into the provided lockers.  \nSome MRI examinations require the use of contrast material. If contrast is required, a skilled nurse or technologist will  \nstart an intravenous (IV), usually in the arm or hand, prior to the examination. The IV will be removed immediately afterward.  \nBefore you enter the MRI scanning room, a technologist will review a safety questionnaire with you. We understand that this may seem redundant but your safety is our first priority. Once the technologist is assured that it is safe to proceed, he or she will escort you into the scanning room and help you get onto the MRI table. Once positioned, it is extremely important that you remain still during the examination. This will allow for clear images and will help us complete your test as quickly as possible.  \nOur staff is available to address any questions or concerns that you might have before, during, or after your appointment. Please call (212) 746-6000 if you wish to speak with us.","cbCaieUWzMTO2ysL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieUWzMTO2ysL","pdf",471024,"English","# Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Preparation\n## Before Scheduling and Prior to Exam\n## How to Prepare for the Procedure\n## What to Bring on the Day of the Appointment\n## What to Expect on the Day of Your Appointment","[{\"question\":\"Who should notify staff before an MRI appointment?\",\"answer\":\"Notify staff when scheduling and at check-in if you have electrical/mechanical/surgical implants (including pacemakers, cochlear implants, metal implants, neuro-stimulators, and more), kidney disease (especially dialysis), diabetes, possible pregnancy, gadolinium contrast allergy, claustrophobia, or need an interpreter.\"},{\"question\":\"What fasting instructions apply before an MRI?\",\"answer\":\"For abdomen exams, no food or liquids for four (4) hours before the MRI.
