Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before an MRI scan?
For most MRI scans no fasting is needed, though certain abdominal scans, especially with contrast, may require a few hours of fasting, which your imaging centre will specify in advance.
Is contrast dye safe for everyone?
Contrast dye is generally safe, but patients with significant kidney impairment or a history of allergic reactions should inform their doctor beforehand so appropriate precautions can be taken.
How much does a full body MRI cost?
A full-body MRI is significantly more expensive than a single-region scan, often costing upwards of Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 depending on the centre and scan protocol used.
How soon will I get my results?
Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after a radiologist reviews the images, though urgent cases can sometimes be prioritised for faster reporting.
What should I do if I feel claustrophobic during the scan?
Let the technician know beforehand, as options like an open MRI machine or mild sedation can help make the experience more comfortable if you're prone to claustrophobia.
