Tips for enjoying your MRI: 1. Keep your eyes shut and relaxed the entire time, from before they slide you in until the moment they slide you out. If you do this, the inside of the MRI machine is not small but boundless, as big as your mind chooses to make it. 2. Think of the sounds of the machine as experimental music. Find the rhythms. Add your own melodies, lyrics, and layers of beats on top of it. 3. Meditate. Appreciate the time spent relaxing your body laying totally still. For the hour, you have no responsibilities in the world.

A bit of noise to save your life is a very small price to pay. The ‘steam train’ noise is the cooling system, the rest are the electro magnets being energized.

It's certainly a small price and it's incredible what these scans can do! As a first timer it was nice to be able to hear what to expect through these videos, the brochure from my hospital said it sounded like a loud drill

Tip for anyone going to have one, I had one today and deal with claustrophobia. What I did was closed my eyes before they even put me in that tube part and never opened them back up because I knew if I saw the closed space coupled with those loud noises, I would have a panic attack.

I listened to this yesterday. Out of the MRI room. Where I had just bolted from, unable to bear the monstrous sound, then spent the better part of an hour trying to calm down by various tips on the internet which seemed only to increase my anxiety. One of them advised listening to recordings beforehand and familiarising yourself with the sounds, which was a bit too late, but I still hit play on this video, trying to regulate my breaths despite the chaos unfolding around me. And it worked! I returned to the belly of the monster. Forced my breaths to follow its own rhythm and not succumb to the urging of the machine. My heart again seemed to burst (which was what sent me tail-between-legs out of the room in the first place) but after a while suddenly something clicked and there I was as relax as a baby in the womb. A few more minutes and I knew now I could stay here forever, in fact there were times I nearly fell asleep. The 20 minutes went by as a not-very-much-joy ride and the steel bed spat me out, disdaining, vowing to chop me up if we meet again. So thank you good person who uploaded this. You save me and the very big fee I paid for the MRI from humiliation and never again daring to show up at the hospital.

People should be encouraged to listen to this beforehand. The noise in the machine is about the same as on the iPad with the sound up to max and headphones on. The worst is the initial loud noise that sounds like an alarm going off but it’s short lived and then it does get better. The key is shut your eyes and try to stay calm for the first few minutes then you should be able to settle in.

I had a brain tumour in 2011 and had my first ever MRI the night I had to be operated on, luckily I’m not claustrophobic, but at the time I really didn’t care what they did to me, I was in that much agony. I’ve had dozens of MRIs over the years and they don’t phase me at all, I’ve even had one where I’d pretty much drifted off to sleep I was in there that long. One tip I can give to anyone who might be getting one or people who get claustrophobic, just try and keep your eyes shut, relax, and if the operators/nurses can provide you with music to listen to, do it, in my opinion it seems to make the scan feel shorter. There’s nothing to be scared of, you don’t feel anything, the machine may get a bit warm depending on the scan, but other than that it’s just the noise you have to put up with.

TO MY FELLOW CLAUSTROPHOBICS: Hello! I am a 14 year old M currently scheduled for a brain MRI w/ out contrast. I have researched about my hospital and they have a GE 1.5T just like this one. If you are worrying about the sound and that you might jump/be scared because of it, it is not as loud as you think. They give you pads (if you use a head coil) that reduce the noise by a tremendous amount. The noise was very faint and allowed me to actually enjoy it. I ended up making techno type beats out of my scan however the technician wasn’t amused. The machine is extremely intimidating at first. Yes, you need to mentally prepare for it. The simple “I can do it” message in your head actually helps. If you are worried about the small space, then I feel ya… Honestly, I would just close my eyes as soon as you lay down on the bed. Never opened them, worked perfectly for me. Frankly the moments between when you enter the MRI room and when you go in the scariest. At that point, I would start to think of something else and if you can, having a family member/loved one helps a lot. Coming from my first ever MRI scan, I actually fell asleep; from popular belief the MRI scanner isn’t all that loud if you have pads and earplugs (they did not supply headphones because it was a head scan) however if you are the person accompanying them outside, it is somewhat irritating. A final message, I really would not worry about the noise or the size. I was extremely worried that I would jump from the sudden noises leading to my head moving, however it was a faint buzzing and knocking and it was over in 15 minutes. You got this :) I apologize for my faint english. I am a transfer student from Korea

you must close your eyes a long time before sliding in. Force them to stay closed no matter what (I often do my lashes so I'm comfortable with this). Your body will shake and enter anxiety attack, take long breaths but remenber to stay in control. Your body is in your control, always. Everything and every bad feeling will pass and then you'll feel an overwhelming peace. It's like the beginning of a mindfulness meditation, imagine yourself in a scenery with the noises, like a factory or try to guess what is making the noises (a printer? A scanner? Chopping wood?) let your mind be creative, you are completely safe in this exam.

[@mely9323]

Today I had an mri scan my first time. I was nervous going in the room. Once I was layed down I was given a cloth to cover my eyes, and some ear plugs.Then once I realized the noise wasn’t going to be any louder I was calm and relaxed and breathed slowly thru it. Total time was about thirty minutes. I mainly kept my eyes closed the entire time. When it was over it wasn’t too bad you just have to be still.

[@AlwayzOneHunnit]

And that's the problem (for me) having to lay still but a cloth over your eyes? They asked me and I said NO!!! Lol

I went for my brain MRI today It took about 20mins-25mins. I was so scared that I was unable to do the test the first time. I consulted my doc and he allowed me to go in with my boyfriend. He held my hand all through even after receiving my contrast injection. Just having him there gave me a lot of courage and emotional support. It was scary but I’m glad I managed to get it done ✅

@@labemolmineur Actually just got done with my 2nd MRI last night. My first one I was in the mobile MRI truck and it was extremely loud for me. I was surprised that I didn’t leave the hospital with ringing ears or tinnitus. But last night I was in an actual MRI exam room. The machine was a lot quieter and the noise was tolerable. I wonder if being in a truck makes the noises reverberate more? It was a brain MRI. I don’t have any hearing loss from it, but yes was shocked by the loudness of the noises. Just focus on your breathing and close your eyes. I’m sure you’ll do fine! Good luck!

I would also suggest try counting in your head or even playing your favorite song in your head really helps. Hell even found myself falling asleep at one point best 12 minute power nap ever 😂😂

[@saturndev]

what exactly makes the noises? and what specifically makes the regular idle noise you hear when there’s no loud ones, see 4:00 for example

[@MRIPETCTSupportEngineer]

I am making a full video all about how mri scan sounds are made, but the short answer is the RF coil and gradient coil produce most of the sound that can be heard during an MRI. The idle noise is the coldhead compressor assembly. This assembly keeps the magnet supercooled by recondensing the helium gas into liquid. I linked a video sowing the coldhead assembly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmG1g5ZjgK6pnJI Thank you for the question!

Nowadays I just try not to fall asleep, thats all. There is nothing to fear. Just listen to the little "steam machine" in the background. It always calms me down.

[@shadowman3320]

I had no problem with claustrophobia, but I kept my eyes closed the entire time. I found the noise absolutely deafening. At 72, I have very good hearing and the little ear plugs they put in did nothing to dampen the noise. The worst thing was the camera bar that went right across my shoulder blades. The tech told me that if they moved me they would have to start my neck scan all over. I said hell no and we went on to the finish line, which was about an hour total. I sure hope they can figure out how to quiet those things down.

I have to get an MRI once every year, to make sure that my brain tumor is not growing back. Just to clarify, my brain tumor is non-cancerous, but when I was 1 and a half years old, I became blind. I’ve never liked the contrast when they give it to me, but only one time they used the machine to do it, but most of the time they do it by hand. When they put the contrast in, I can taste a metallic something in my mouth. At least I can listen to music while I am in there, they have specific headphones that work for that.

A lot of comments saying it's scary but I've been in these things regularly the past 20-ish years and always found it very relaxing. The tunnel you're crammed into is nice for an agoraphobic like myself and the noise really does work as ASMR aside the insane loudness of it but the earplugs really help with that. Maybe it's a mix of the agoraphobia and autism I have but inside an MRI machine I really do feel at ease and calm, I even fell asleep once and they yelled at me with the speaker to keep me awake - though admittedly it's nice to be in them less and less just because it means I'm having less medical issues lol.

[@Allenk34234]

Well, it was ok. They gave me some earplugs and some ear defender headphones that really helped. This I think is offered to everyone. When the scan started I imagined myself in my car doing a 30min drive that I often do. I literally pictured the whole journey in detail and the noises from the machine became background sounds.

So my advise is definitely close your eyes just before they put you threw it an keep them closed till you come out. Try think about the rest of your day are you going shopping or whatever and try add something extra to whatever your day brings you it's just to get the noise off your mind. Either way you will have noting to worry about its 100% safe it's not going to hurt you
