How to Prepare for Your Imaging Procedure
If you have a scheduled appointment, please discuss the procedure and any special instructions with your doctor before you arrive. If a test is ordered while you are a patient at the hospital, your physician, nurse, or technician can explain the procedure and answer any questions you have.
These general guidelines will help you prepare for and stay comfortable during your procedure:
- Wear loose-fitting clothes. Don’t wear items containing metal. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown. In some cases, you may be asked to remove jewelry, watches, hairpins, eyeglasses, or dentures.
- Some tests require that you go without eating or drinking for a specified time beforehand. Be sure to ask your doctor about this at least 24 hours before your procedure.
- Tell your technologist if there is any chance you may be pregnant or if you are breastfeeding.
- Tell your technologist if you are allergic to shellfish or iodine.
- Some procedures require you to remain still for a period of time. Your technologist will explain what you need to do for a successful procedure.

There’s no better place to schedule an MRI exam than Scenic Mountain Medical Center. That’s because we’ve acquired the Philips Ingenia Ambition 1.5T, the first-ever digital broadband MR scanner with a truly unique patient experience. This revolutionary system delivers superb image resolution, fast exams, a more open patient experience, and a first-of-its-kind audio component designed to help you relax.
Our new MR system is not only minimally invasive, it’s minimally intimidating. It was designed for patient comfort and features like ComforTone and the in-bore experience provides audio enhancements designed to reduce patient anxiety.
It’s fast. Our Ingenia Ambition 1.5T can scan patients of varying size, age, and medical condition in less time than previous MR systems on the market. Routine exams of the brain, spine, knee, ankle, and liver are quick and easy. And even more complex scans may only last 15 to 40 minutes.
It’s comfortable. Our revolutionary new Philips Ingenia Ambition 1.5T has a wide-bore opening designed to make you feel less confined. In fact, most scans can be done with your head completely out of the system. These features combined with the in-bore experience will help you relax and enable your doctor to obtain the images they need on the first scan.
It’s accurate. The Philips Ingenia Ambition 1.5T delivers the revealing images your doctor needs to help diagnose your medical condition correctly. This makes it easier for your doctor to identify and pinpoint any potential problems and helps reduce the number of repeat exams.
