The Radiology Department at Massachusetts General Hospital is world-renowned, with roots dating back to 1896 and the making of one of the first x-rays in the United States. With a staff of over 70 board-certified radiologists, and an exceptionally high volume of studies, the Department has gained distinction for its subspecialty expertise in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, gastrointestinal and genitourinary imaging, interventional radiology, thoracic imaging, pediatric radiology, emergency radiology, breast imaging, and nuclear medicine.

This patient information web site describes your MRI scan, letting you know what to expect every step of the way. A radiologic technologist will also explain your scan to you before your MRI scan begins. At all times, you should feel comfortable in asking questions of any member of our staff.
