The duration of an ear MRI scan depends on whether contrast dye is used.
| MRI Type | Approximate Duration |
|---|---|
| Non-Contrast MRI | About 25 minutes |
| Contrast-Enhanced MRI | About 45 minutes |
-
Non-Contrast MRI: If the MRI doesn't require contrast, it typically takes around 25 minutes.
-
Contrast-Enhanced MRI: If the MRI requires contrast dye, the procedure will take approximately 45 minutes, which includes the time needed for the technologist to insert an IV line for contrast administration.
