How does it work?
Basically, MRI is an imaging machine, so it works like a camera but instead of a usual camera using film, flash, or lens it uses a very strong magnet. So the part you want to have imaged with will be centered to the magnet just like taking a photo, where you point your camera to the object you want to capture. Once started, you will hear the sound of the machine and the magnetic field aligns hydrogen molecules in the body and is processed by an advanced MRI computer system to produce the image and all this is happening without you having to feel anything.
Who can have MRI?
From Pediatrics to Adults and even Geriatrics whether Male or Female.If you have claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) or anxiety, you may want to ask your physician for a prescription of a mild sedative prior to your scheduled examination.
Infants & ChildrenInfants and young children usually require sedation or anaesthesia to complete an MRI exam without moving. Whether a child requires sedation will depend on the child’s age and the type of exam being performed. Moderate and conscious sedation can be provided. A physician or nurse specializing in the administration of sedation or anaesthesia to children should be available during the exam to ensure your child's safety. You will be given special instructions on how to prepare your child for sedation or anaesthesia.

You should let the radiographer know if you have any serious health problems, or if you have had any recent surgeries. Some conditions, such as severe kidney disease or liver transplant, may prevent you from being given gadolinium contrast for an MRI.
It will be necessary to perform a blood test (creatinine) to determine whether the kidneys are functioning adequately.
The radiographer or a nurse will ask if you have allergies of any kind, such as an allergy to drugs, food, or the environment, or if you have asthma so that proper precautions will be made.
The contrast material used for an MRI exam is based on gadolinium. It is far less common for a patient to have an allergy to a gadolinium-based contrast agent used for MRI than the iodine-containing contrast for CT. So even if it is known that the patient has an allergy to the gadolinium contrast; it may still be possible to use it after appropriate assessment or
