MRI Scans
This procedure requires a physician's referral from your Canadian family doctor or Canadian specialist or chiropractor for scans in Buffalo MRI in Buffalo NY Buffalo Niagara MRI Center:
Overview The Buffalo Niagara MRI Center provides the most advanced MRI (magnetic
resonance imaging) technology and services available in a comfortable and
welcoming environment. Our staff strives to make your MRI experience a positive one. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask anyone on our team. We look forward to helping you. What is MRI? MRI is a painless procedure used to provide highly detailed images of the body. An MRI allows physicians to view the inside of the body without surgery or X-ray radiation. The MRI scanner works by creating a strong magnetic field and sends radio waves (similar to those of your favorite FM radio station) into the body. The waves are measured by a computer and translated into remarkably clear images. The use of MRI is often critical to the early detection and accurate diagnosis of a variety of illnesses and injuries, allowing physicians to initiate treatment as soon as possible. Your MRI Scan
Please arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to your exam to allow time to complete the necessary medical forms. Be sure to have your health or insurance card with you, as well as a doctor’s prescription for the scan, and please feel free to ask questions at any time. A technologist will meet with you to discuss your medical history and answer any questions you might have. The technologist will keep this brief, so it shouldn't take longer than the average time we spend filling out life insurance or credit card forms. Please tell the technologist if you have the following: pacemaker, aneurysm clip, biostimulators, defibrillator, implant(s), history of eye injuries, claustrophobia or if you could be pregnant. Your MRI will last between 30 and 60 minutes – depending on the study being performed. You can leave immediately after the procedure. You will be assisted onto a scanning table and given cushions to ensure your comfort. During the scan you will hear a series of knocking sounds which are part of the imaging process. We will provide earphones so you can listen to the radio or you can bring in your favorite music CD for your listening pleasure. Some examinations require the use of a contrast medium, which will be injected by a very small needle into a vein in your arm. You must lie still during the scan for the best results. There are microphones, which the technologist can use to communicate with you during the scan if necessary. A board certified radiologist who specializes in MRI will interpret your scan, and a report will be available to your physician within 24 hours. Preparing for your MRI
