YOUR MRI EXAM
You can eat, drink and take regularly prescribed medication prior to your MRI exam. Please arrive about 15 minutes before your exam, dress comfortably and bring your favorite music CD to listen to. The MRI exam will take approximately 45-60 minutes. Your results for routine exams will generally be available within about a week, and urgent exams can often be read within 24 hours. Contra-indications to having an MRI include cardiac pacemaker, pregnancy and aneurysm clips.
 
Your Northwest Hand physician will go over the results of the MRI exam with you during your next scheduled appointment.
