Hi @michaelarsenault4337, so it's really about comfortability, and it depends on what people are wearing. Buttons may show up - scrub tops with no buttons aren't an issue. If someone comes in a t-shirt, or golf shirt - or something without buttons - they don't need to change.

Hi @ginasmith7910, please let us know if you have any questions aside from the video or anything specific. Have a wonderful day!

Hi @pamelaharris4540, the area that's being scanned needs to be in the middle of the magnet. Depending on the patient's height, their head could still be outside of the zone itself. As for if the replacement interferes... if it's ceramic no... if it's metal it might cause what we call "artifact" or flares but we do them for patients quite often that have had TKR or THR. I hope this helps answer your question. Please let me know if you have any more. Have a wonderful day!

Hi @neatjohnson3069, for pelvis we generally do whole body imaging. For part 1 - the patient's pelvis is placed under the detector for a 2 min image, however when they return for part 2 we would start with their head under the detector for 2 1/2 min, and then they would slowly be pulled out to scan the rest of their body over 12 min. We often (not always) would do a SPECT/CT image following that where their pelvis would be in the detector for the first 10 min, but then their whole body is pulled into the back tunnel for about 1-2 min.

Tell about your experience

Hi @johnruuu, bone scans require an injection (a radioisotope, not contrast) and imaging is done post injection (2-4 hrs later) so that the isotope can circulate through the body. I don't think they do any scans prior to the injection. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Have a wonderful day!

i hope it won't be too uncomfortable for you.

@@qrpcoaching8198 thankyou ,it's my first time and I'm nervous

@@javonnemotley5980 when you know what will happen your state of mind will be much more at ease. Look at several videos, there are enough of those. Otherwise let me know.

Hi @baccon_321, Gadolinium is NOT strictly necessary for the detection/diagnosis of endometrial deposits in the superficial or deep regions of the pelvis, or elsewhere in the abdomen or pelvis, and can therefore be seen and reported on a non-contrast MRI scan. The typical MRI sequences we would need to detect/diagnosis endometrial deposits are a T1 weighted sequence performed with fat saturation and a T2 weighted sequence without fat saturation. Gadolinium does have utility in detecting a known/prior endometrial deposit that is or has undergone malignant degeneration (i.e.: has become cancerous), although this is a rare occurrence and would not necessitate routine administration of gadolinium unless there is clinical suspicion (from a specialist gynecologist), as well detection of ovarian malignancy. I hope this helps a bit. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

@@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial Thank you very much, you helped me a lot with your detailed answer. Many greetings to you ❤️

Hi @pamsatira1753, there is a minimum of 4 decanewtons in order for it to be diagnostic, but more compression is better for visualization in order to be able to properly exam.

Hi @hayahaya1655, Yes - if there are contents in the stomach - it affects the scan in a few ways. Food increases motility, which increases motion artifact on the scan. Food also could potentially obscure any abnormalities. Finally - if we give an injection of IV contrast, and it causes nausea (which is a possible side effect), a full stomach will likely result in vomiting. I hope this helps with your question.

@@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial ok thanks...

Hi @JLU-st6sd, in regards to taking off any jewelry, you do not have to take it off - unless it's directly in the field of view of the area being examined.

🎊🎉🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️ Congratulations

Hi @bharatlama2729, Mayfair Diagnostics is a medical imaging provider, not a medical clinic so we can not provide medical advice. To investigate any symptoms or concerns, you will need to see a medical doctor who may then request medical imaging. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Have a good day.

Hi @sarahmccoy1941, radiation dose is strictly dependent on the patient's body habitus, and the exam we're performing. If a person was having a CT chest, abdomen and pelvis, an average person would expect to receive approx 3-4 mSv which is quite close to the amount of radiation someone living in Calgary at our altitude receives every year. Lower elevation - less radiation. Higher elevation - more radiation. The CT dye is an iodine based solution which shows up as white on the scan - enhancing the arteries/veins/ organs. Radiation is NOT good for anyone - however, it's our understanding that in one's lifetime, the risk of getting cancer is approx 20%. After a CT scan (eg. chest, abdomen, pelvis) the risk of getting cancer would now be approx 20.1%. Depending on what the referring doctor is looking for (eg cancer) the risks from radiation far outweigh the risk of missing disease. We also have dose reduction software that we use for all of our scans. Some exams (virtual colon) allow us to use a higher dose reduction than other exams where we may need higher detail. Ultimately - if there is any concern about radiation - please speak to your doctor and perhaps there's another Diagnostic Imaging exam type you can have done instead. Hope this helps! Have a wonderful day.

Did everything come out okay?

😂😂

Yesss😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm screaming cause baby i had one in the dark im claustrophobic woooo weee they had to give me medicine

I had one head first and it was okay. They talk to you the whole time if needed and can remove you when you request.

I just did it and it was ok just hard to stand still I had a itch on my leg had to do it again 😂

How much time it takes?​@@elchapojr6219

Ok drizzy

Yes they’ll sedate you if asked ahead of time

I have had MS for 30 years. In all my times I’ve done MRIs, when I asked for anxiety meds, they said no. But each dr is different, I guess.

@@FreeBird1276 sorry to hear that, I’m in fl and every time I get one , I’m sedated, I didn’t know I could be until I had a massive panic attack during my first one, and the nurse explained sedation was an option

Hi @zainab313__ , Just to answer your question. Top is off for a mammogram. Sometimes, you can keep a gown on one side while performing the mammogram on the other, however, the gown can get in the way and create artifact so the tech usually prefers the top completely exposed. The exam itself takes about 7 min. Thank you and have a nice day! Mayfair Diagnostics

They do not do it over clothes. Think about it. They do not do X rays over/through clothing
