Before this test
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center. Remove jewelry and metal beforehand; most orthopedic implants are safe.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker, spinal hardware, or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease, or claustrophobia.
Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
