Claustrophobic patients:

We can also give light sedation, provided you have not already taken another medication. The effect may last beyond the examination. For this reason, it is essential that you are accompanied when you return home.

We can offer you hypnosis support from qualified staff.

• The examination request from your doctor
• Your insurance card or accident report

Our medical staff will accompany you throughout your visit to our centre.

• The technician will ask you to keep only your underwear on and to remove all jewellery.
• Lying on the examination table, the part of your body to be examined will be positioned in the centre of the magnet. You will be asked to remain as still as possible to ensure that the images are clear and of good quality. Whatever the duration of the examination, you will always be under supervision. The medical staff can see and hear you. You will be given a bell with which to communicate with the technician.
• The examination is completely painless. The medical team will provide headphones with music, as the machine can be slightly noisy.
• Contrast medium may be injected.
