Does the contrast hurt?

Not at all..just have to hold very still and hold your breath when you are instructed by the machine.

basically good informative video. As a radiation worker ( retired) it’s great to see information that’s accurate , and understandable. I’m not so sure about the ability of the patient to ask a medical practitioner for a particular imaging modality.

Any exposure to radiation carries a very small risk of potential tissue damage that could cause cancer at a later date.

but for my brain cancer it is the opposite when it comes to the length of examination. My MRI takes 20 minutes and the PET scan took 1 hour.

Hey i have a question: Is it dangerous to enter the mri machine if i have claustrophobia? Because i have that phobia And my 2nd question: Does ct scan have loud noices or can you make a video about the sounds around the ct/PET scan room 3rd question: How to throughout an mri

No

Yes if youre claustrauphobic dont do it they actually ask i didnt think i was until i got an mri and then i realised nope. Plus they strap you down so you dont move and bugger up the imaging.
@boxsterman7710 ай бұрын
It's not objectively dangerous, but I can think of few things more triggering to a claustrophobic, short of spelunking in a dark cave, then an MRI. It is a VERY confined space and you are in it for a long time. The danger lies in a subjective response to the imaging modality; not any real danger. But fear can be a mother.

Damn bro I'm sorry about the cancer. Tbh I'd rather go for a MRI. MRIs are safer because they don't use radiation which CAUSES certain types of cancer

Thank you so much ! I start my chemo and radiation treatment on February 20th..I had a pet & cat scan and they STILL want me to have an MRI..I'm scheduled for the 29th but I am going to have to reschedule because I will be in treatment . I really want the MRI because I am convinced that I have other issues going on besides the cancer.

@DaniB19819 I get where you're coming from bro I had an MRI on my right knee back in mid December because we thought I tore my ACL and would have to have surgery. I'm gonna be honest too, being in that MRI was probably the best catnap I ever took.

@titanusvoidearthghidorah8039 I'm not sure , haven't started yet , I start next week and I'm quite nervous. I have to sort of " wear" this pack ..it is hooked right onto me . I had to have a sort of port put under my skin on my upper right chest right under the clavicle and that will be where the chemo is attached. This will alleviate me having to get a needle prick each and every time I go for treatment, so it's a major plus to have .
