MRI

-Sedation: VRI does not provide sedation for patients.  If a patient wishes to be sedated or relaxed prior to their exam, they should discuss medication options with their referring Physician prior to their visit.  If the patient chooses to be medicated for the exam, a driver is required to provide transportation to ensure the patient's safety.

-MRI cannot be performed on patients with a cardiac pacemaker, some cardiac valves and stents, otologic implants, implanted neurostimulator, non-titanium aneurysm clips in the head, pregnancy (in some cases), metal in body or exposure to welding.
