FAQs

How long does a MRI scan take?

The length of the exam depends on the type of study being performed. Average 30-60minutes.

Will my head be in or out of the scanner?

The area of the body being scanned will be in the center of the scanner. For most procedures–with the exception of the head, neck, or shoulder areas–your head will remain outside the scanner.

Why is it so important to remove ALL metallic objects before I enter the MRI scanning room?

You’ll need to remove all metal objects for safety reasons and because they cause artifacts to appear on the MRI image.

How long does a CT scan take?

The length of the exam depends on the type of study being performed. Scan times vary from 5-30 minutes.

Do I need to be pre-authorized by my insurance company before my scan?

As a courtesy, Pulse Imaging will try to get the pre-authorization on all CT’s and MRI’s. It is ultimately the patients responsibility to verify that authorization has been obtained prior to the scan.
