MRI Technology
Preparing for your MRI
Clothing should be free of metal. Before your MRI, please tell your physician/the MRI technologist if you have any implants in your body that that are made of or contain metal. In most cases, metals used in orthopedic surgery pose no risk during an MRI. You will be asked if you have ever worked with metal or had a bullet or shrapnel in your body. If there is a possibility of metal shrapnel in the eyes, you will need to receive an X-ray before the MRI. SAH does not provide MRI services to patients with pacemakers.
If you need an MRI, ask your provider for a referral where it’s closer for you and your family. To schedule an appointment or learn more, please call 402-269-7590.
