What is an MRI?

An MRI is a non-invasive imaging scan that produces detailed images of the inside of your body using a powerful magnetic field and radio waves. It can visualize blood vessels, bones, muscles, nerves, organs,
and soft tissues.

An MRI machine resembles a large tube. During the scan, the relevant body part is positioned in the center of the tube. At MRI NOW Miami, our machines have wider openings to alleviate any claustrophobic feelings, ensuring a more comfortable experience.

Anxiety or Claustrophobia: Our large-bore MRI machines and the option of listening to music help reduce anxiety. If needed, discuss anti-anxiety medication with your provider before the exam.
Allergic Reaction to Contrast: Although rare, some people may be allergic to gadolinium, the contrast agent used in some MRIs. Inform our team of any known allergies.
