Avoiding alcohol before an MRI might seem like a small step, but it plays a big role in ensuring your scan is safe, smooth, and accurate.
At MRI Chandigarh, we guide patients to skip alcohol because it affects how your body behaves during the scan. Even mild drunkenness can cause dizziness, dehydration, or restlessness, making it difficult to lie still, and movement is one of the biggest reasons for unclear MRI images. Staying sober ensures your body is calm, your mind is clear, and the scan results are reliable.
