How should patients prepare for a Gynecologic MRI?
Preparation for a gynecologic MRI typically involves:
- Medical History: Informing the healthcare provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or previous surgeries. - Clothing and Accessories: Patients are usually asked to wear loose-fitting clothing and remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, hearing aids, or dentures. - Fasting: Some MRI exams may require fasting for a few hours before the procedure, especially if contrast material is to be used. - Contrast Material: In some cases, a contrast agent may be administered to enhance the visibility of certain structures. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any history of allergies to contrast material.
