Hi Liz,
My exam, as written on the report, was a "MRI of the brain with and without contrast". My exam started without contrast and about 2/3 of the way through, the techs injected the contrast material via IV. I couldn't move while they were doing the injection. I was then put back in the machine for another 10 minutes or so. When I requested the test (because of headaches) I made sure that it would be with contrast because I had read that was the best way to do it. Hope this helps and the best of luck to you.
