If you did not fill out the MRI questionnaire and other required forms, you will be asked to fill out all required paperwork upon check-in at radiology.
HOW TO READ MRI IMAGES OF THE BRAIN REGISTRATION
Please check-in at the main registration desk and then check-in at the radiology reception desk.(805) 681-7671 WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER ARRIVING FOR MY EXAM? Please call the number below if you have any questions regarding your exam.No special preparation is necessary for this exam.You will be asked to wear a gown for this exam.Please wear comfortable clothing, preferably cotton, and leave your jewelry and valuables at home.The radiology physicians will not prescribe these medications for you.

It will help accelerate your registration process. We recommend you print and fill out the MRI questionnaire form before arriving. MRI of the brain allows physicians to examine the brain anatomy to rule out any anatomical abnormalities caused by health complications such as stroke or degenerative disease. MRI uses a magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to create images soft tissues, bones, and internal body structures.
