Wearing the right clothing may eliminate the need for you to change into a gown prior to your exam.
Clothing Guidelines for MRI, CT, X-ray, DEXA, PET/CT, PET/MRI and Fluoroscopy Exams:
- Wear loungewear, pajamas, or other loose-fitting cotton or linen clothing without metal embellishment.
- Do not wear clothing or undergarments with metal fasteners, zippers, hooks, under wires or other metal components.
- Please leave items such as watches and jewelry at home.
- For MRI and PET/MRI exams only: Do not wear compression-wear or tight-fitting spandex. Many brands of fitness clothing have metals woven into their fabrics making them unsafe to wear during an MRI exam.
