Preparations - Face and Neck MR Angiography

On the day of the MR angiography scan, you will be asked to change into a gown.  You should wear loose clothing and remove all metal objects, including jewelry, eyeglasses and hair clips. Hearing aids, dentures and other removable objects should be taken out as well to avoid interfering with the face and neck MR angiography scan at SMIL.

Tell your SMIL technologist if you have any metal screws, surgical staples or other metal in your body. You will be asked to remove any piercings if possible.

Keep taking your regular medicines prescribed by your doctor. Please inform our office of any known allergies to medications. Also, let our technologist know if you have asthma, multiple myeloma or any disorder of the heart, kidneys, or thyroid gland, or if you have diabetes before receiving a MRI angiography scan.
