What to Expect During a Hand MRI
Preparation
Before your scan, remove all jewelry, belts, and any other metal items. For your safety, you’ll be asked to change into scrubs provided by our facility. This step helps prevent any metal or metallic fibers, such as silver or copper found in some athletic or moisture-wicking fabrics, from affecting the equipment or your procedure.
Procedure
You will lie down on the MRI table while your arm is placed inside a specialized imaging coil. Your arm will rest above your head in a “Superman” position to allow for the clearest possible images.
Experience
The exam is painless. You may hear gentle tapping or humming sounds from the MRI machine. Earplugs or headphones are provided for comfort.
Duration
The scan typically takes 20 minutes.
