Getting an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scan - What to Expect

How long does the MRI usually takes?

Pls don't scar me anymore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm going soon😢😢😢😢

I had an MRI last weekend, and this video reduced my anxiety because it helped me know what to expect. I kept my eyes closed the whole time and pretended I was at a Daft Punk concert (because of the noises). I also asked the MRI tech to talk to me between each set of images, and to tell me when we were halfway done. It was over faster than I thought it would be!

How long does it take to do an mri

not a kid but i’m scared for mine 🙁 so i’m watch this

Thank you, this is really helpful!

I have a 2 hour MRI and than a MRA today. I suffer from extreme claustrophobia and want sedation. We didn’t request it as we don’t know how so I’m nervous.

Just got mine done. I was in that machine for 45 minutes. I was so uncomfortable because of the noise and it was getting warm.

I am going for my first one tomorrow and I hope is a very fast process.

I have one today 😬

Thank you I’m getting an MRI tomorrow

The process of the MRI is a lot more uncomfortable and complicated then this video makes it out to be especially if your getting stomach mri. Which you have to drink a bunch barium sulfate fluid, Also IV contrast in arm, and a shot on the arm to slow stomach down. Never mind being put in the machine which is like a tunnel with ceiling one inch from your face with your entire body inside it. Also eat bids and head phones are out on you and the head rest you put you head in is extremely uncomfortable and they put equipment on top of your body to before putting you in the machine. Def do your research before going in. I was blind side and was not told any of this info going into my appointment. Call your doctor or mri office and ask for detail Ed instructions and how it’s going to be

I HAD AN MRI YESTERDAY AND I WAS REALY SCARED AT FIRST BUT I GOT TO LISTEN TO MY FAVORITE MUSIC (sry all caps) and it was actually quite relaxing i would deffinitly do it again without hesatatioon

Had to do one a couple of weeks ago because I was in a science experiment about how the brain reacts to certain stimuli.

Also, apparently the machine they used is 50 times more magnetic than normal medical ones.
It was also very loud and claustrophobic.

I’ve had an mri 20 times in my life and I’m 16, every time I go in, the doctors are shocked how many times I’ve had them 😂

F**k that last week I had MRI scan is feel so good the doctor was give to me headphones to listen music then I close my eyes I was chill like been holiday on ibiza then after that something touch me kill all my feelings when I open my eyes is was doctor say done I say doctor put music on I want stay here a bit longer 😂😂😂🤣🤷🏽‍♂️

I actually almost fell asleep during this procedure, it’s so relaxing.

As someone with Tinnitus I’m terrified to do this 😭 f that I’m canceling my appointment

I’ve gotten my MRI almost 10 years ago

I have an MRI today and am really scared because I’ve never had one before and I most likely need surgery 😰

Had an mri today and it was terrible. It was incredibly tight in there and NYU didn’t have the ac on or something. Longest 15 minutes of my life.

I had a 30 minute MRI YIKES

I lost count how many MRI I had done, today I’m going for 3 with and without contrast.

Omg that is super small! The MRI i went to did not look that small!
Edit: no it did..

I may be having an MRI Scan in February 2021 .

I’m being transferred to adult services because I’m Eighteen years old

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 breath normal. Also don't get contrast unless its absolutely necessary.

I hate IVs.........so much

I have an mri without contrast it’s of my brain so I can’t listen to music

I got an MRI when I was 10 and had broken my back (they didn't know it was broken yet lol. They had done an x-ray of my neck (even though we told them it was my back that i hurt) and sent me home. Then they called back saying that they may have seen something on T1 so they did the MRI). It was 1am so I was really tired and they just gave me these warm blankets and I fell right asleep even though it was loud. Didn't bother me one bit. Turns out T1 was fine. T3, T4, T5, and T6 were broken.

Wit what

Thank you I’m getting an mri tomorrow and this makes me feel better and less scared

This helps but still nervous . UGH

I’m having one tomorrow😭

My brother had to have one with an injection, he said it went in deep and hurt like hell

I have to get one for my knee hoping everything is ok but it’s probably not

I just had one today but I didn’t have to have an iv 😗✌🏻

i’ve been having really bad nausea episodes and dizziness for months now so i’m getting a mri tomorrow i’m not nervous but i just wanted to know what it does

Funny I still ain’t going

It is my bottom apses

i had one yesterday it was first time should of watched this first

Fell asleep during my Mri so relaxing

I have an mri today and it’s for 45 minutes

it wouldn’t be so bad but even through the music it’s super loud

Wait what if you have to sneeze for cough

It sounds like a 747 Jumbo Jet in the MRI.

Hey I got an MRI in April 15 and it went great the only thing that bothered me was the noise the machine made but you’ll get used to it. To me it depends how long you are in there I was there for 25 minutes then they gave me an injection then 10 more minutes so it depends on you.

I had one before for my growing problem everyone

I am not scared of having an M.R.I. I just want to see what it looks like.
