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 your doctor for a sedative before you schedule the test. Also ask the tech to give you a count down during the scan. Ask them to talk to you every 3 minutes. This really helps.Remember breathe normal. Pretend you are going to sleep or think about a fun time and just focus on that. Avoid caffeine. The tech will always give you a emergency call button if you have to come out. Ask if you can take a look at the machine before the scan. If this fails , look for a open mri in your area.

I had an MRI today. The technician did not talk to me at all. A count down would have been helpful. I shut my eyes the whole time but the noise I found so distressing despite ear plugs. 45 minutes later it was over but I didn’t enjoy it. I am slightly claustrophobic so next time perhaps a sedative.

I just had an MRI not a CT scan last week. Not too bad because I have had several in my life.

[@janbell6539]

Had an MRI on my neck last Monday and the staff are fantastic, reassuring and explain everything well. Very thorough with paperwork so be ready to go over it a couple of times.i was put into the machine head first and had a camera placed over my head too. You are told how long each scan will take and I got through it by closing my eyes and counting 1-60 slowly for however many minutes. There were a few scans lasting 3-4 minutes each. It is noisy with various different sounds but you have earphones and there is quite a selection of music you can listen to. There is a mirror in the head attachment so you can see the staff, which is good and they check you are okay, via your headphones, between each scan. You also have the alarm if you need it and staff can be with you in seconds. Not going to say it was totally comfortable as I did feel restricted but once the machine started I was fine.

I had a Head MRI 2 days ago on this very machine. Although it looks more modern due to a refurbishment. This in turn made the scan much quicker 2 x 5 minute scans. The machine was noticeably quieter more like a modern car alarm. I had a single contrast injection between scans without the usual cannula. So much better than they used to be.

Caution on MRI with contrast gadolinium. I am a MRI w /Contrast's victim in 2020 : Next day of an abdomen MRI with contrast Gadolinium injection : muscle, joints, nerves pain, feet and hands and fingers tingling electric, fogging memory. The cost of an MRI is about $4,000- $6,000, They order me to a CT scan, then an MRI and an MRI with contrast together. Then more problem to your health, they send you to others specialists to get more treatment , then no cure available.The pain last for ever to today almost 4 years. I have notified FDA, but no help. They did not warn me before the injection, but oblige me to sign on the brochure when I came to pickup the DVD of MRI result. Please FDA help protect our human citizen. The Physician have to warn, explain to patient before ordering MRI with contrast. In Europe they forbid the MRI contrast gadolinium. Date 8/4/2003' ( see Gadolinium Toxicity, Gadolinium Deposition Disease).

Wrong . Latest one according to ACR . There is zone 1 , 2 and 3 area in MRI unit . Interview PT. In level 1 and let pt. fill up screening form and questioner . , next level 2 , pt. changed clothes and wear gown , removed everything except undergarment also jewelries and put in the locker and nurse will come ask questions identify right PT. allergies and confirm pt. has no problem with gadolinium based contrast injection and she will insert an IV or intravenous line , then in level 3 MRI tech will double checked pt. go over with screening form and will bring PT. In zone 3 , wand pt . For any metallic object outside and inside the body , any implant , pacemaker or anything that is not allowed to go to MRI. If ok then to proceed in Zone 4 where machine is located for the test and position , explain PT. how many minutes , breathing instructions and in case of emergency. giving PT. Reassurances and give the panic ball. for emergency.

What is contained in the contrast substance? How noisy is this procedure? Can your hearing be damaged?

[@dangeroussnek8932]

The contrast contains chelated gadolinium (toxic heavy metal like mercury trapped in chelates, mostly safe but long term effects are unknown. Few people report similar severe side effects and poisoning from retained gadolinium in the body that never left.). The procedure is very noisy. It can go up to 110+ (even 130 i think) decibels. Your hearing is safe if you wear protective headphones.

[@geoffreycodnett6570]

@@dangeroussnek8932 Not sure where you got the information from but the contrast medium is an iodine compound in saline. Modern machines are not as noisy as a modern washing machine on a high speed spin. Never needed or indeed offered ear protection which would render the automatic or radiographers instructions or enquiries useless!

[@dangeroussnek8932]

@@geoffreycodnett6570 no thats a different contrast

I had a horrible experience the noise sent me into shock everybody said stay calm stay calm and did nothing for me it took me three days to get rid of the shaking that I was going through from the loud banging they got the pictures which I’m grateful for but these machines are rough it’s not their fault I’m not blaming anyone just my experience

[@geoffreycodnett6570]

I'm a bit surprised at the difference in scan practices. A couple of CT scans were just a case of making sure nothing metallic was around for the scan while in the scanner room. MRI was much the same. Wearing normal clothes and not gown. The canula was fitted when on the scanner bed in each case and the whole process over in no more than 15 minutes. The MRI needed the coil on me to complete the process but added little time. I also had a kidney function test with a gamma camera which involves a dye injection then a period for the dye to go around the blood stream and kidneys begin to deal with it. That's a longer process because you have to wait a couple of hours for the dye to be absorbed. I went out to the town for lunch and a drink of water as told. Again you're in a scanner with a couple of added items for a bit more time. Best to try to not get stressed about it and accept it's for your health. Luckily my tumour/cancer hadn't grown over a tree year period so it's fingers crossed for the future.

No without coil nothing will happen. You just lie in there and the scan has started but there is nothing to receive the Radio frequency signals that are essential to get the Pictures. But sometimes it is possible to lie in another Coil that just goes around your Head but your Face is open. But these are not good to study the Brain. More for Bone structures from your Neck upwards.
