MRI SCAN PROCEDURE

Patient Process

Our goal at Metairie Imaging is to provide the best quality scans while keeping our patients comfortable and relaxed. We’ve outlined what you can expect when visiting us. Click through the steps below to learn about the process.

Step 1

The first step to working with us is scheduling. Typically, your doctor will likely refer you to us for MRI scans. By giving us a quick call at 504-454-3600, you can quickly get the scan you need to diagnose your condition successfully.

Step 2

We want to make sure you are comfortable in our office and with the MRI experience. We understand that patients feel claustrophobic in MRI machines. That is why we provide helpful goggles that allow you to watch television or other videos. Wearing the goggles distracts you from where you are and helps the procedure feel like it goes by quicker.

Step 3

Once the scan is complete, we’ll make sure your doctor receives the scans promptly so they can follow up and diagnose you. We’ll handle payment with your insurance company and answer any of your additional questions.
