Contrast vs no contrast (simple guide)
When MRI is done without contrast
⛑️ Headache work-ups, mild injury, many first-look exams.
⏱️ Time: ~20–30 min.
🔊 What you feel: normal MRI sounds (no IV).
🔍 Use it when: a solid first look is enough.
When MRI is done with contrast
🧪 Known/suspected tumor, infection, inflammation, MS, post-op checks.
⏱️ Time: ~30–45 min (quick IV + added sequences).
💉 What you feel: brief IV; some notice temporary warmth/metallic taste.
🔎 Use it when: added detail is needed to answer the question.
Your provider and the radiologist decide whether contrast is appropriate based on your history, symptoms, and prior imaging.
What to expect: prep, comfort & results
- Prep: Wear comfortable, no-metal clothing; we’ll screen for any metal.
- Comfort: Our patient-friendly short-bore 1.5T, headphones/music, and calm coaching help many people feel less confined.
- During the scan: You’ll hear rhythmic tapping—normal MRI sounds.
- Results: A board-certified radiologist interprets your images and sends a report to your provider—many patients hear back in ~24–48 hours (varies by case).
