An MRI specialist running the scanner will come and meet you. He will
ask you questions to make sure you are ready for the scan. He will show
you where the lockers are for your personal belongings. He will show you
where the restroom is located. We will take you into the scan room. You
may have a parent come with you if you like.

You will sit down on the scanner bed and get comfortable by taking off
your shoes. We will give you soft earplugs for your ears to muffle the
scanner sounds. The scanner makes a lot of different sounds. Some sounds
are like someone knocking on a door or like a buzzer. The earplugs will
help to quiet these sounds.
