When you arrive, our receptionist will greet you, take a short background history, and answer any questions. Be sure to let us know if you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.

You'll then change into hospital scrubs and store your possessions in a locker. Meanwhile, any friend or family member who has accompanied you will be made comfortable in our guest waiting room.

A technologist will thoroughly review and discuss the screening information that you filled out to ensure that you can safely receive an MRI. During the study, we can see and hear you at all times. A qualified technologist is in touch with you throughout You can talk with us, but don't move ... we want your image to be perfect! You will hear a drumming noise that's part of what makes MRI work. You may request your choice of earplugs or stereo headphones for listening to your favorite radio station, cassette or CD. The stereo system allows the technologist to adjust sound levels and still remain in communication with you.

A Radiology Consultants physician, an MRI specialist, will review the study and give your physician a report. Your physician will then use the report to help evaluate your medical problem.

You will receive two bills - one from Baptist Health Medical Center for the MRI scan, and one from Radiology Consultants for professional interpretation of the scan. Please feel free to discuss any billing questions with our receptionist. Or call us later if there is any confusion.

If you need to come back at a later date and pick up films, please give us 45 minutes notice so you won't have to wait.
