Please be aware that most MRI scans are completed within 30 minutes. Depending on the information needed by your physician, it may take longer. During your scan, patients will be lying comfortably on their back and must always remain relaxed and motionless. MRI imaging is very sensitive to motion; any motion will blur your images. At Advanced MRI of The Bahamas, to assist our patients with this process, our MRI System offers variable lighting, fresh air supply, a handheld call button and a comfortable table design that includes a soft mattress, and a headset to enjoy a customized music selection while being scanned.
The scanning process does not cause any pain; however, you will hear a mild knocking sound as the MRI machine takes its pictures. A trained MRI Technologist will perform your exam and can be called with the use of a call button at any time during your scan.
