MRI service overview
MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, joints, the brain, spine, abdomen, pelvis, and other areas. It does not use ionizing radiation.
At Orange County MRI, our team focuses on helping patients understand the visit, prepare correctly, and receive a smooth imaging experience from check-in to completion.
What the MRI scan is used for
- Brain and neurological symptoms
- Spine, disc, and nerve-related concerns
- Knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and joint evaluation
- Abdominal, pelvic, and soft tissue imaging
What patients can expect at an MRI appointment
Before the scan, staff will review safety questions because metal, implants, and certain devices can affect MRI safety. You may be asked to change clothing and remove jewelry, watches, cards, or accessories that contain metal.
During the scan, you will lie still while images are captured. Some exams require contrast depending on your physician's order. If you are claustrophobic or need extra support, call us before your appointment so we can guide you.
