your appointment is set, we will mail you a packet of
informational materials and health-related forms.
MRI is a non-invasive test that uses a strong magnetic field and radio frequency waves in a manner that is painless and with few risks. Of concern, however, is the effect that both the magnetic field and radio frequency wave could have on implanted devices within the body. If an object exists, either surgically implanted or acquired during an accident or injury, there are certain conditions uner which an MRI might not be safe. Patients should notify the receptionist or
technologist prior to their appointment if they have
any of the following:
An implanted pacemaker, defibrillator ("AICD"),
or heart valve
An implanted pump device (such as an insulin or
pain-medication pump)
An inner ear implant
An aneurysm clip within the brain
Previous eye injury involving a metallic object
Shrapnel

AN
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT
YOUR BILL Even
if your scan is performed at one
of the hospitals, the bill you receive
will be from Turville Bay MRI Centers
because we own and operate the scanners
at those locations. Some insurance
companies have payment agreements
with the hospitals, but not with
us, so please call your insurance
company if you have questions about
whether or not they will cover the
cost of your test.
