Cardiac MRI usually takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many pictures are needed. The test may take less time with some newer MRI machines. The MRI machine will be located in a special room that prevents radio waves from disrupting the machine.
Actual scanning time for each heart scan varies from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of scanner used. Total time in the nuclear medicine department will be approximately two to four hours. If the SPECT scanner has CT capabilities, a short CT scan of your heart will be obtained.
