Your provider might order a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan so that he/she can get a closer look at something that’s causing you pain or is a potential cause for concern. Jenny Nott, (R)(MR), MRSO (MRSC™), MRI specialist, Parkview Health, takes us through the process, from registration to results.

The entire screening will take about 30-60 minutes and is completely safe. The team’s goal, as Jenny shares, is to make the experience smooth and comfortable, and to keep patients informed to ease any anxiety or apprehension.
