Heart MRI-- what is it??!


Question: I was just told by my doctor that when I see her in Jan I will need a Cardiac MRI.. Is that the same as I always see in House M.D show where the person is lying on a table and they're put inside a machine that thumps... Or is a Cardiac MRI different than a regular MRI?? Just curious as to what to expect...

I'm also getting a renal ultrasound.. but I know what that is..

Well.. at least both procedures are painless..
