The MRI machine looks like a long tube that has openings on both ends. During the MRI scan, the internal part of the magnet produces repetitive tapping, thumping noises for 15-30 minutes. Headphones with music will be provided to help block the noise. A technologist will monitor you from another room and you will have access to talk with the technologist by microphone.

What is an ultrasound?
Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. These high-frequency sound waves are transmitted from the probe through the gel into the body. It detects changes in appearance, size or contour of organs, tissues, and vessels. It is safe, painless, noninvasive and does not use radiation.
