FAQ
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing with limited buttons or zippers to avoid artifacts in your images. We will provide appropriate attire to change into if we need to remove clothing with metallic decals on or inside the material to ensure your images are the highest quality for our Radiologists to review. Our private patient lounge rooms do have lockers for our patients to use, but we also want to encourage you to leave any unnecessary items, such as jewelry, or be prepared to remove those items prior to imaging.
