Breast MRI:
- If your menstrual cycle is regular, the scan is best performed between days 7 and 14, a phase of your cycle during which the glandular breast tissue can be especially well represented.
- If your menstrual cycle is irregular, please confer with us in advance about when your appointment should take place.
- If you are postmenopausal, the examination can be carried out at any time.
- If you take any hormone medication (e.g. an oral contraceptive), the examination cannot be carried out until you have stopped taking the hormone for at least 4 weeks.
MRI scan of the colon:
- You will need to take a laxative on the day before your appointment in order to empty your colon. Specific information pertaining to the type or brand of laxative to be taken and how it is to be administered will be made available to you once your appointment has been arranged.
- Please notify our medical staff well in advance of your appointment if you suffer from diabetes, kidney disease or heart disease.

MRI scans make use of a strong magnetic field. For this reason, please bear in mind the following restrictions:
- Patients with a cardiac pacemaker, a defibrillator, an artificial heart valve made of metal and/or an insulin pump are not allowed to undergo the MRI scan.
- Patients who have undergone surgery for the placement of a medical device that is at least partly made of metal (including cochlear implants, artificial joints, intramedullary nails, vascular clips, cardiac stents, metal clips and metal plates, but not including dental inlays) must wait at least 6 weeks before undergoing the MRI scan.
Please notify our medical staff in advance if you suffer from impaired kidney function.
Please bring any related medical reports with you to your appointment.
