Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) systems allow medical professionals to see inside the body with outstanding clarity. With MRI images, physicians can rule out problems, identify areas for treatment and track progress with greater speed and accuracy than ever before. The scan does not involve surgery, radiation, hospitalization or side effects.

What to Expect during an MRI

  • The procedure takes about 45 to 90 minutes to complete.
  • The exam may require injection of a contrast media through intravenous therapy during the MRI procedure.
  • Patients recline comfortably on a cushioned table during the procedure and are asked to lie as still as possible.
  • Patients are in visual and audio contact with the technologist during the entire scan.

Through a partnership with Shields Health Care Group, one of the country's leading medical imaging providers, Central Massachusetts Magnetic Imaging Center and Marlborough Radiology Associates, Marlborough Hospital offers its patients MRI exams in an innovative mobile unit which blends superior diagnostic capability with exceptional patient comfort.
