I've never had an MRI, but I think the process typically goes something like this:

1. Doctor refers you to a specialist.
2. Specialist requests an MRI.
3. Technician administers MRI.
4. Specialist interprets MRI.

I could be wrong. I suspect I could find out, if I were truly curious. A poor option, but clearly available would be: "google: where do you get an MRI?"

I'm reminded of our earlier conversation about HGH-- and I'm more convinced that you should avoid rather than seek out that stuff.

You don't just go get an MRI, you go see a doctor about your back pain and he decides if you need an MRI.

99% of the time you'll get an XRay first because they're so much faster and cheaper and the docs want to see if they can tell what's wrong just from that.

To get an MRI on most insurance plans requires an approval of necessity which requires a specialist.
