How you prepare

Before any MRI exam, follow the instructions that you will be provided. If you are scheduled for an MRE exam of your liver, you will most likely be asked not to eat food for four hours prior to the exam, although you may drink water during that time. You should continue to take your usual medications, unless otherwise instructed.

You will be asked to change into a gown and to remove:

• Dentures
• Eyeglasses
• Hairpins
• Hearing aids
• Jewelry
• Underwire bras
• Watches
• Wigs
