Miami Gardens · Open MRI

Open on the sides, so you aren't enclosed in a tunnel.

Plantation · 1.5T short-bore MRI

A short, wide bore. For many hip, knee and ankle scans your head can stay outside the magnet.

Hear it before you come.

MRI scanners knock and hum loudly while they work. It’s normal, and it doesn’t hurt. We give you earplugs or headphones, a blanket if the room feels cold, and a way to talk to your technologist the whole time.

Everything you need to know about our locations, pricing, and process.

How Long Does it Take?

An MRI scan typically takes between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the body part being scanned.

Does it Hurt? Is it Loud? Is it Cold?

The scan itself doesn’t hurt, though lying still or the noise may feel uncomfortable. You won’t feel the magnetic fields or radio waves. You may hear loud tapping noises during the scan, but earplugs or headphones are usually provided for comfort. The magnet rooms are kept cold, fresh blankets are provided if needed.

How Should I Dress?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing without any metal, such as zippers, buttons, or snaps. You may be asked to change into a gown depending on the area being scanned. Be sure to remove all jewelry, watches, and other metal items before the scan.

What Can You See on a MRI?

MRI scans provide detailed images of soft tissues, organs, bones, and joints. They are especially useful for viewing the brain, spine, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and internal organs. MRI helps diagnose a wide range of conditions, from injuries and inflammation to tumors and neurological disorders.

How Much Does it Cost?

Please call the office for our current self-pay prices. We are not Medicare providers.

Can I eat or drink before my MRI?

In most cases, yes. You can usually eat, drink and take your regular medications as normal unless your doctor tells you otherwise. We’ll provide specific instructions when you book your appointment.

Is it safe to get an MRI if I have metal in my body?

Please inform us if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, or surgical clips. We will evaluate your situation to ensure your safety.

Will I be exposed to radiation from the MRI scan?

No, MRI scans do not use radiation. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves to create images, making them a safe option—especially for people who need repeated imaging or are sensitive to radiation.
