Ask the center and care team:
- What clinical question is the examination intended to answer?
- Have you received my implant and external-device details?
- Do you need my device card or records from another facility?
- What scanner and position should I expect?
- How should I prepare for food, drink, and medicines?
- Is contrast planned? Which health information do you need?
- What support is available for pain or claustrophobia?
- If sedation is planned, what transport and recovery arrangements apply?
- Do you need earlier reports and actual images?
- Who will explain the results, and when?

Information to report early: implants, metal fragments, external devices,
past operations, kidney disease, contrast reactions, and possible pregnancy.
Do not stop treatment or remove an essential device without coordinated
instructions from your treating team and imaging center.
