MRI without Contrast RA005

MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a method used to visualize certain structures inside the body. An MRI can be performed on any area of the body, including an arm, a leg, the spine, the head, or the neck. MRIs are often used to assess injuries, joint conditions, internal organ issues, or to look for cancer. However, MRI is not effective for visualizing bone tissue, so other imaging methods (such as X-rays or CT scans) are typically used if there are concerns about the bones.

MRIs do not use any radiation. Instead, the scanner uses radio waves and strong magnetic fields to create images of various tissues inside the body. During an MRI, you will lie inside a tube for about 30 to 45 minutes. It is important to remain still during this time to ensure clear images. Some individuals may require a sedative to help them relax during the scan; your doctor can prescribe this if necessary. MRIs cannot be performed on individuals with certain types of metal in their bodies (such as some implants or shrapnel), as the strong magnetic fields can cause these materials to move.

A contrast dye is sometimes used to highlight specific types of tissue on an MRI. This procedure is called an enhanced MRI or an MRI with contrast. The dye is administered through an IV, and in most people, the kidneys clear it from the body within 24 hours. However, not all MRIs require contrast. MRIs can also be performed without contrast, referred to as unenhanced MRIs.

In some cases, it is useful to obtain MRI images of the same area both with and without contrast. By comparing the two sets of images, a radiologist can better differentiate between types of tissue. For this procedure, an initial MRI is performed without contrast. After the contrast dye is administered through an IV, a second set of MRI images is taken. This process is commonly referred to as an MRI with and without contrast, even though the non-contrast images are taken first.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?
Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.
Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?
No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.
Why isn't my insurance plan listed?
We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.
What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?
Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,
What does the estimated price include?
Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).
How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?
To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.
I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?
You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
