Step 01
Safety checklist
Because the magnet is very strong, you are asked about pacemakers, implants, metal clips and any metal in the body.
All diagnostic tests
MRI
Detailed pictures of the body made with a strong magnet and radio waves while you lie still inside a tube-shaped machine. It uses no radiation.
How it works
- 1A ring of strong magnets surrounds the tube — no radiation.
- 2Radio waves make tissues send back faint signals.
- 3You lie on a table that slides inside and keep still.
What happens, step by step
Step 02
Remove all metal
Jewellery, watches, phones, cards and hairpins stay outside the room.
Step 03
Into the scanner
You lie on a table that slides into a tube. The machine knocks loudly, so earplugs or headphones are given.
Step 04
Keep still
You stay as still as you can while each set of pictures is taken. You can talk to the staff at any time.
