PATIENT STORIES
FAQS
If you’ve ever been to a science museum, you’ve probably seen those cross-section displays of the human body; thin slices showing organs, bones, and tissue at different depths.
That’s essentially what an MRI does. But, instead of physically slicing anything, it uses magnetic fields to capture hundreds of these cross-sections while you lie still, watching your favorite movie.
Then, by stacking them together, you get a detailed 3D map of your organs, blood vessels, soft tissue, spine, and brain.
An MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body — organs, blood vessels, soft tissue, spine, and brain structures. Your body contains water, and water contains hydrogen atoms; MRI technology sends signals to those atoms and tracks how different tissues respond, and those responses become detailed images that radiologists review.

Yes! Dragonfly scans are completely safe, even for repeated use.
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRIs don’t use radiation: just magnetism and radio waves.
No. Dragonfly scans do not use ionizing radiation or intravascular contrast dyes — MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves. Because of the magnetic field, all jewelry, watches, and metallic accessories need to be removed before scanning, and people with certain implants or devices need to be reviewed by our team before booking. Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
No. Dragonfly scans are elective preventive screenings, and you can schedule directly without waiting for a doctor to order the scan. Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
We ask that you limit beverages to either water, tea, or black coffee. As a reminder, the longest scan can be over an hour so we suggest using facilities prior to your visit.
Yes — Dragonfly asks patients to fast for four hours before the scan, which helps reduce motion in the stomach and intestines for clearer images. On scan day, please limit beverages to water, tea, or black coffee, and since the longest scans can take over an hour, it’s a good idea to use the restroom before your visit.
Your privacy is sacred. We will never sell your patient data. We will not share your information with anyone unless specifically authorized by you. We strictly abide by and comply with all medical legislation which regulates patient confidentiality, medical data, and personal information.
You are constantly monitored by an MRI technician during the scan and have the ability to communicate with the MRI technician throughout your entire process.
Yes — Dragonfly allows scans to be given as a gift. We can connect you with the team if you’d like help setting that up.
Yes, we accept Care Credit FSA/HSA as payment. Please submit a booking request so we can help you with using for Care Credit account.
Yes — Dragonfly accepts FSA, HSA, and CareCredit payments. Some plans may require you to seek reimbursement through your specific carrier, so it’s best to check with your plan. The team can help you use these options when booking — Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
No, we do not require a referral, but we can help arrange a consultation with a medical practitioner in the event there is an abnormal finding.
Yes, the scan process is designed with your comfort in mind. You’ll have the option to listen to music or watch a movie, and we provide a blanket along with an aromatherapy patch to help you relax. During your pre-scan consultation, we’ll also review medication options if you feel you may need additional support.
You will receive your report within 7 business days. We do our best to release results earlier, but in rare instances, it could take slightly longer.
The accuracy of the scan requires imaging the same tissue in multiple ways, while in the same position. Unless it is a true emergency, we ask that you monitor your fluid intake to ensure you can last the entire session.
Dragonfly scans are elective preventive screening scans and are not covered by insurance at this time — they are typically private-pay. Some patients may choose to submit information to their carrier for possible reimbursement, but Dragonfly cannot guarantee coverage or reimbursement.
Many patients choose to make Dragonfly part of an annual health routine, because the first scan creates a personal baseline that future scans can be compared against. We can’t recommend a specific interval for a medical reason — that’s a conversation for your provider — but we’re happy to help you get your first baseline scan on the calendar.
Yes, we do offer a referral program. When you share Dragonfly with someone you care about, it’s more than a recommendation, it’s an act of love that encourages them to take a proactive step in protecting their health. As our way of saying thank you, both you and your referral will receive a special credit toward your scans.
It gives a broad look across major organs and systems in one visit, without radiation, to help identify things worth further attention — it’s a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, not a diagnosis. If you’re ready, we’re happy to help you get a scan on the calendar or connect you with our team.
We combine whole-body imaging with deeper cardiometabolic analysis, so you’re not just seeing anatomy — you’re getting insight into how your heart and metabolism are functioning. Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
Our comprehensive MRI gives an excellent evaluation of the heart’s anatomy, overall size, chambers, muscle thickness, and overall function. It also evaluates the pericardium and the major vessels, including the thoracic aorta and central pulmonary arteries. If you’d like to see this for yourself, we’re happy to help you get scheduled.
Our MRI isn’t designed to evaluate the coronary arteries directly or detect blockages there. For that, we offer a Cardiac Calcium Score (CCS) as a complementary test that looks specifically at coronary artery disease risk.
Our review is limited to imaging performed at Dragonfly Scan, so we’re not able to compare or interpret outside imaging. If you need that kind of comparison, your referring physician or a diagnostic radiology provider is the right resource. In the meantime, we’d be glad to help you get a Dragonfly scan booked.
It depends on which scan you choose: Torso ($999) covers chest, abdomen, and pelvis; Head + Torso ($1,799) adds brain and neck imaging; Comprehensive Full-Body ($2499) covers brain, full spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis, plus lung screening, vascular review, organ health analysis, and body composition. Our team can walk you through current pricing and any active offers — want us to help you get started?
The Torso Scan is the most focused option — chest, abdomen, and pelvis — often a good starting point for a faster, more affordable internal health check (no brain or spine imaging). The Head & Torso Scan adds brain imaging to the core organ scan. The Comprehensive Whole Body Scan is the most complete of the three — brain, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, dedicated lung imaging, liver analysis, body composition, and a broad radiology review. We can explain the general differences, but we can’t tell you which scan is medically right for a symptom or condition — happy to help you book or connect with the team.
