There is nothing to worry about. You bassically lay on a couch like a reclined dental chair whilst a machine similar to an X-ray scans the affected area. All harmless and takes as little as 2 mins. Results are processed on site and examined by medical staff. Hope this helps and that it is not for anything serious.  Good Luck.

This is one project you need to take off of your own to do list. Get to a doctor. You need Xrays and a professionally placed cast.

Hey, getting an MRI is appropriate...then again the doctor may have to be able to read it correctly. I did have an MRI, one doctor said that I needed surgery, another told me that I need not. So I decided to be conservative and did physiotherapy, wore a brace for sports and it took me almost a year to recover fully. Healing takes time...give it the time that it needs...and it will! God bless U.

This should have been arranged before your appointment. It is up to your doctor to order and schedule both tests. To show up and expect that the MRI technologist will just do both is very inconsiderate of the patients that will follow your appointment as a MRI usually takes  about 45 minutes and this will cause all the patients after you to be at least an hour late with their appointments.  If there is an open spot after your knee scheduled time, the tech can call your doctor and ask if it can be done, but this should have been brought up by you at your appointment with the ordering doctor. Many times, a reputable doctor will not order a test as expensive as an MRI without examining the patient.\n\nOR, you can call the doctor before your appointment and have BOTH tests scheduled at once. You may have to switch days to do this, but it seems to be the best option.\n\nAs for saving money, these are TWO SEPARATE exams, no discount will be given for the test, or radiologist reading.

A positron is a part of magnetic resonance and is detected during an MRI scan. Because cancer cells have a different rate of positron emmission than healthy cells, it will show up on the MRI.

You should definitely see a doctor to have an MRI and and x-ray.  In the interim, you may want to consider tyring a supplement like Glucosamine & Chondroitin.  I have used this in the past and it has helped the pain in my shoulder.  Then, at some point, the pain just went away.  Go figure.

A complete scan, depending on the organs studied, sequences performed, and need for contrast enhancement may take up to one hour or more. Newer scanners with more powerful magnets utilizing updated software and advanced sequences may complete the process in less time.

With an MRI, they trace the outline of internal body parts, via the bloodstreem, to greatly aid the imaging.\nPlus, since they are only mildly radioactive, there is little chance of harming the patient.

Start by going to  your regular Doctor or an Orthopedist first to find out what is causing the pain after you have a diagnosis  then you will be able to make a decision about getting the proper treatment for the particular problem.

MRI of the head results, CT of head, CT of abdomen, your last kidney function, and last couple of progress notes as well as a complete history and physical exam done by your last doctor. don't bring in 200 pages of medical records. its painful to get through all that. bring in the most recent labs and medicine list. this should be the start and whatever else your new provider needs.
