Upright MRI Coils PS

[wolfie]

BEST idea EVER!! Lying down pinned with a helmet is claustrophobic

[lorigrayson]

I had an Upright MRI done ten years ago (for my pelvic area) and most recently (5 months ago) for my neck. It is the only way I can get it done. I get claustrophobic and have anxiety disorder. I traveled 3 1/2 hours away to NYC to get it done but it is worth the effort. I had zero anxiety.

Every Hospital should have an MRI Machine like this one.

I suffer from anxiety which results at times in instant panic attacks and I am claustrophobic as well....at one time I was able to handle a MRI and short elevator rides but no longer....when visiting someone in a hospital I will now use the stairs even for a lousy 2 floors but now even the stairs have started to give me great anxiety....the fear of the door I enter to use the stairs locking behind me and the door at the end of the stairs for me to exit being locked etc....and for a cylinder style MRI forget about was able to tolerate an MRI when i was younger ( 20''s-40's ) but the older I got the worse it became and now I absolutely refuse to have an MRI done....and than this past summer I started to have terrible sharp pains in my upper legs and my doctor told me the best thing would be for me to have an MRI of my lower he mentioned that I might be able to handle a stand up I made an appointment with the nearest one to me here on Long Island which was about a 35 minute drive away and It was a world of difference and I was able to have it done with only a bit of anxiety but without having a panic attack or fear of no was placed in a sitting position and in front of me was open with a big screen tv screen on the wall ahead if I wanted to watch TV. ..they had a local news station on but I requested the sound be muted which they did....and while the sides were close to me having it totally open in front of my vision field made all the difference in the world for me...along with my being in sitting position and not on my back took about 30-40 minutes and only near the end did I start to have a feeling of claustrophobia but no where near as bad as the old style cylinder for those like me who would rather take a bullet than to have an old style MRI I strongly suggest finding a place that has a Stand Up experiencing one I wish there were more places that have them as the difference to me was like night and day.

I just had my MRI two days ago. I have low back pain and didn’t like this at all. I didn’t find it to alleviate my fear of enclosed spaces either. The large open disc that floats above you on the other types of MRI machines works much better for me. My back was aching from having to sit up so straight for so long.

Changed my mind when I saw the walls closing in

I am afraid of the coil on my face I have anxiety over things that I can’t control holding me down or feeling of suffocation. Please loving FATHER GOD in the Mighty name of JESUS CHRIST your loving Son our precious SAVIOR protect me and take away this demon called fear. In JESUS Mighty loving Name Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Excellent.
Upright scan is what I prefer.
Horizontal will not show if spine has wonky alignment., , ,
N.B., , , , just found the vertical MRI video.

I've tried 3 times to have a traditional mri couldn't do ir. I might be able to do this but it's not available in my area.

[audreymburcham]

I feel like I would be more relaxed in the tube. Because you’re laying down and have a blanket

[okzoomer]

How loud are these relative to conventional MRI's? Anyone have a relative decibel rating? Trying to get more information because I am unable to get a supine MRI.

Can you do MRI on pelvis area without me laying on my back? It is hard for me to lay on my back for more than 10 minutes. I tired on both the conventional and tilted MRIs both requiring me lay on my back, and had to stop because of discomfort. Is it possible to undergo pelvis area MRI while standing or sitting? Please advise.

This wouldn't even help me. It's not only the small space that is terrifying. It's having my head stuck in that coil. even if I can see, I will have a massive panic attack if I can't easily get my head out of that thing by myself. I have PTSD and a massive fear of being held down or trapped. I haven't slept at night since finding out I need a brain MRI. I might just not do it and put up with dizziness and daily non stop headaches. 😭

Can this be used for finding parathyroid adenomas? And is the quality of these images really good? The tube version of the MRI machine supposedly yields better pictures, but for claustrophobic patients this is no option.

Highly advice against going to Rayus Radiology for any of your imaging needs. I went in around a month ago and they literally microwaved my back leaving nasty 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my right side. I called the place up and reported the incident. The manager was so rude she has yet to accept culpability already and apologize. If you care about your body and piece of mind look for an imaging center that actually sees you as a patient not a dollar bill!

[LynnDeatherage-qk]

I can't have any MRI done no more, due to my left hip replacement joint surgery done and bullets fragrances in my arm thighs and won't allowed

[gazalakhan]

Oh my God is very hard for me MRI scan. I feel just like I am in grave .I can't

[NicholasNormand]

Never had an MRI before one question on a scanner like this or any open scanner is the machine loud to
Where u need hearing protection

Can you do breast MRI with this type? I'm a heavy set lady. I tried getting it done with a regular machine, and it was squeezing my back and sternum so much, that I couldn't even take in a breath! They couldn't do the MRI! The breast MRI requires the ladies to lay on top of a piece that raises your upper body so the breasts hang down through the thing that raises you up. So, if you are a larger woman it is impossible! I found out I have cancer, and they really need to do an MRI so they can see how far it has gone, what stage, and probably a lot of other things. Between getting referrals, approvals, and find one that works... I'm terrified the cancer will be all through my body by the time I can get it checked! Please pray for me 😢🙏🏼

Why have the coil over the patients head, if the head isn’t even at isocenter?
