Testing your own or a close relativeâs Y-DNA or mtDNA can reveal information about your paternal line (your fatherâs fatherâs father) and your maternal line (your motherâs motherâs mother) but not about anyone in between.
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a painless procedure that lasts 15 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being scanned and the number of images being taken.epending on the size of the area being scanned and how many images are taken, the whole procedure will take 15 to 90 minutes. The MRI scanner will make loud tapping noises at certain times during the procedure. This is the electric current in the scanner coils being turned on and off.
How long does the MRI scan take? For most exams, expect to be in the department for a minimum of one hour. We need time to prepare you for your scan, and then take you into the room for the actual exam. For most body cases (exams like liver, pelvis, heart) expect to be in the department for two hours.
