I been a MRI tech for 4 years! If you have high anxiety I have a few tips for you! Bring a friend or family member to come in room with you! Ask if they have music for you to listen while getting scanned, cover your eyes with a wash cloth or ask for a sedative before the test. Remember breath normal

Something about going in feet first is better imo

I had an mri on my head and I was in there about 35 min I just listened to music I have sever anxiety but for some reason this was very relaxing to me and I stayed calm the whole time.

Attempted to have one last Monday 09/11/20 had injection set up for the dye had taken 2 MG Diazepam 1 hour before as soon as they put my head in to what seemed like a crash helmet I had a major panic attack MRI aborted there is no way I could go through a 25-minute scan in that environment.

Can a pregnant woman do lumbar MRI? Any side effect on the baby/mother?

[sarahmccoy]

What is contained in the contrast substance? Barium or iodine?
How loud is very loud? Can it have an adverse effect on your hearing?
I do not understand. You muffle your hearing, but then have music is your headphones?
This looks like an unpleasant experience.

This machine looks a lot bigger (hole opening) than one I just had. This one has 3 times the space over head. Luckily they played some good 60’s music
