The process of acquiring the images takes a few seconds. Setting up and positioning takes several minutes. The overall duration of the examination depends on how many regions you are having imaged.
You will be lying on a comfortable table that slides into the MRI scanner, a large machine typically shaped like a tunnel. Worry not, as both ends of the scanner are open, ensuring you don’t feel confined or claustrophobic. The tunnel is equipped with lights and, in some cases, a mirror for your comfort. Some MRI scanners even have wider tunnels or a more open structure, resembling a ‘C’ more than an ‘O’.
Most cardiac MRI scans do not require any special preparation. If you are having an adenosine-stress CMR study, you will be advised at the time of booking what preparation is required. Some people may find the MRI scanner claustrophobic which can prevent them from completing the MRI scan. If you have experienced this previously or have any concerns, please let our bookings staff know and we will talk through the options available to you.
