Our child life specialist can work with children of all ages and parents to additionally prepare them for their MRI, helping to alleviate any anxiety.

If your child is nervous about his MRI, please let a team member know so we can utilize additional support from our child life specialist to promote a successful scan. If an IV is needed, we will do this prior to the start of the MRI scan. This is administered orally or through intravenous therapy or an IV, depending on the type of study needed. Some exams require contrast for the MRI pictures. We will complete any pre-procedural assessment, screening forms, and your child will change into a hospital gown. Once you’ve arrived for your child’s appointment, a member of the radiology team will walk you back to our MRI preparation area. What can I expect before a Pediatric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?
