What To Expect During Your Scan
How Long Does An MRI Take?+
Most MRI studies take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the body area being scanned.
How Long Does A CT Scan Take?+
Most CT studies take between 5 and 20 minutes.
Is MRI Safe?+
Yes. MRI relies on magnetic fields and radio waves — no ionizing radiation. We conduct a full safety screening with every patient before the scan begins to account for implants or other contraindications.
Is CT Scan Radiation Dangerous?+
The dose from a modern CT scan is carefully controlled and considered safe for the vast majority of patients. We follow ALARA principles to minimize exposure while maintaining image quality.
What If I Am Claustrophobic?+
Let us know when you schedule. We will walk you through the scanner room before your exam, provide music, and work with your referring physician on other options if needed.
Results And Turnaround Time
When Will My Doctor Receive My Results?+
A Board-Certified Radiologist interprets your study and sends the report to your ordering provider, typically within 24 hours.
Can I Get A Copy Of My Images?+
Yes. We provide a disc of your images at no additional charge before you leave, or we can mail one on request.
Do You Offer Contrast Studies?
Do You Perform Contrast MRI Or CT Studies?+
No. All studies at Georgia Health Imaging are non-contrast only. We do not administer IV contrast, oral contrast, or gadolinium of any kind. If your physician has ordered a contrast study, please contact us so we can help coordinate appropriate care.
