During the scheduling process, you will be asked a series of questions

It is FVOI’s policy that a legal guardian or parent be present during a minor’s MRI exam. If this is not possible, you may appoint a responsible adult to act as temporary guardian to be present during the exam by completing the MRI Authorization for Medical Attention.  In addition, please complete the following forms: MRI Authorization Form, MRI Screening Level 2 Form, and MRI Patient History Form and ask the appointed guardian to bring these documents to your child’s appointment. 

It is important for your safety that you immediately inform the MRI staff of

your surgical history and any prior injuries with metal.  Alert an MRI

staff member before entering the MRI scan room if you have any of

 the following: 

·        Cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator
