After the scan is done, you will be assisted off the table. You can then get dressed or changed and get your
belongings. The technologist will escort you to the reception area or direct you to an exit where you are
then free to go. If you took any medication, you should have someone else drive you home. If you underwent
sedation for the procedure there will be additional time required for observation before you are free to leave.
Any images from other healthcare facilities that you brought with you will need to stay so that the radiologist
can review them with your MRI images. We return them to you after they are reviewed by the radiologist. The
MRI images from your scan are stored and archived, then viewed and interpreted by a radiologist, who makes a
determination about any possible findings.
The technologists, and other Mid-Michigan MRI staff, cannot provide any information about the MRI findings at
the time of the exam as they are not trained in interpreting MRI scans. Interpretation of the MRI scans is the
responsibility of the radiologist. Radiologists are licensed physicians with experience and education in imaging
procedures.
Report
Your physician will receive our radiologist's findings in a report usually within 3 to 5 business days. Contact
your physician at that time to discuss the findings with them. We can also fax results to your physician if
requested.
