MRI Scan Journey
We understand that undergoing your first MRI scan can be an unfamiliar and potentially worrisome experience. However, we want to assure you that you are in capable hands, and your well-being is our utmost priority. MRI scans are a safe and routine procedure that countless individuals undergo every day. Read on as we address common concerns as it may alleviate some of your nervousness.
MRI Questions & Concerns
Your comfort matters: The team at TRG Imaging are dedicated to ensuring your comfort throughout the MRI scan process. They will explain every step to you and address any questions or concerns you may have before, during, and after the procedure.
Non-Invasive Procedure
Non-invasive and painless: MRI scans are non-invasive. It is a painless imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture detailed images of your body's internal structures.
MRI Safe For Repeated Examinations
Your safety is our priority: MRI scans do not use ionising radiation like X-rays or CT scans, making them a safe option for repeated examinations. Rest assured that the procedure poses no known health risks, and the benefits far outweigh any minimal discomfort or inconvenience. Because the MR machine is a big magnet, there are certain metallic or electronic implants which we need to know about in order to ensure our patients can be scanned safely. This is why you will be asked about any previous surgeries or accidents - Just in case you ended up having a metal plate or staples. It’s amazing how many people forget.
Claustrophobia concerns: If you experience claustrophobic tendencies, please let our staff know in advance. We can provide measures to help you feel more at ease during the scan. Our MR machines all have large holes called bore-holes for you to fit through.
Supportive environment: Our team understands that undergoing medical procedures can be anxiety-inducing. We are here to create a supportive and reassuring environment for you. Feel free to communicate.
