If you are claustrophobic, don't even look at the machine even upon entrance. When it's time, let them guide you to the bed. Keep your eyes closed the moment you lay down or at least when the bed starts moving all the way until the whole process is over. When you're inside,(while eyes are closed) imagine you are on a vast spacious vacation doing any and everything.....not wearing a mask.
I am claustrophobic, and I am having my first MRI of breasts in two days,so I will be laying on my stomach. I am so afraid already that I won't be able to breathe
@@ljupkan3873 You will be fine, just keep your eyes closed if you think it will help and literally take a trip in your mind. See yourself waking up, doing last minute packing, eating breakfast, getting to airport, going through checkin...lol, even have conversations with the workers of the airport in your mind. Anything to distract it. You will be ok, and God will be with you and not let nothing happen to you. Relax and make it a fun imaginary vacation! You got this!!! Let us know how it went after you finish!
@@Jluv875 Dear Christina, I have just finished, uh, I run the first attempt out, dropped a few tears, then pulled myself together, I thought of what you said and I did it !!! Thank you so much 🥰
@@ljupkan3873 OMG FRIEND! I'm SO happy for you! So glad you got through it!!! Girl, I never had an MRI so I was like man fingers crossed that this truly works for her!! hahah.
@@ArcadeAssaultSrb good tbh, they gave me music and it did help. The things that might help if you are scared of the mri I wouldn’t open your eyes while in it. If you have a jacket of some sort take it off before you go in, I know the room may be cold but the mri gets hot after a bit. Make sure you have NO METAL, and I’m being so serious make sure there is no metal in your pockets and none of your clothing is made with it. They will probably give you these big loose shorts or pants just in case your clothing does have it, but that’s all really idk when you have yours or if you even are getting one but if you have specific question chances are I’ll answer.

In my country there wad a giant door and noone ould be in the room i dint have my phone and i dint even see my mom and for us instead of a fucking movie and her talking to you all the time we had nothing soo this is a lie
I had an MRI last week... didn't have a TV there however. What I got was a mirror and the pleasure of looking at my own sock-covered toes. I am not in any way claustrophobic, however after being in the machine for a period of time I had to get out, I was starting to feel trapped. I tried again with the same result. If you havent done one, here is what I found from my experience: 1. This video is way too short - I was in there for much longer, and the scans took much longer to do, as well as having significant time gaps in between (perhaps 3-5min in between each scan pass) 2. The structure they put on my head was less like this and more like some sort of medieval torture device that squashed my jaw.... NOT helpuful. 3. Closing my eyes only brought various movie scenes into my head like The Vanishing, Silence of the Lambs etc and made it worse 4. Make sure they get the right music on. I asked for meditation music (easy enough to find on Spotify) and I got some sort of dramatic classical overture piece... Not. helpful. 5. They hardly spoke to me 6. The BAAAA BAAAA BAAAA noises have a great way of freaking you out. I have to go back next week, just hope I can get through this one this time.
@@mckenziecaple Good luck! If it helps, I went back the second time and had my wife there - that helped. I also had a specific music request that helped me, although what I put on would probably not be good for others - but it helped. My advice would be to try your best to relax. Breathe and be calm. Know that you will be OK. TV would be nice, but the reality is that you're watching this on a mirror suspended above your head so I'm not sure how much you would see of it, or if it would be helpful. I would say just make sure they get the right music, perhaps meditation music. The other thing is that if you can have someone with you - that is the best calming tool of all.
One time I had an mri I was so nervous. Before (way before) I got it (this year) my mom showed me the sounds it makes. When I heard them, I bursted into tears bc I’m am scared of loud noises. I couldn’t believe it bc I had to do it. The day I was gonna get my mri, I was so scared. In my hospital room, I shook there, with my parents with me. I was SUPER nervous about the anesthesia bc I would get a poke, I had a feeling of intense butterflies in my stomach, I felt sick, and my stomach hurt so bad. That’s how scared I was. When I got wheeled into the mri room, I started crying hard. I was having a full on panic attack. I felt really tingly bc of my anxiety + the panic attack. Before they poked me, they but me to sleep. I was given laughing gas, it only was a matter of seconds before I fell asleep. since I was asleep, I can’t remember anything, not even the sounds, not even the poke! When I woke up, I was in my hospital room again, I felt nauseous like I was gonna throw up. But I didn’t! I said “it’s over already..?” I was still a little groggy at the time. It was quite the experience, but it was worth it. My results came in and my brain was perfectly normal. My parents though I had cerebral palsy. But I didn’t. That was my experience, thank you for reading. :)
I can describe my experience in an MRI as a cross between living in a dial-up modem and attending an EDM concert. Then whenever the tech would talk through that speaker overhead and I’d begin to think I was in an airplane with the captain speaking.
Is it weird that I like having MRIs? I think they are really neat and it's a really interesting experience. When I was younger I pretended that I was on a space mission and the machine was a futuristic space pod thing!
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.
Wow, never seen an MRI machine like this one! Here in B.C. Canada, we have to wear ear protection as the machine is VERY LOUD. We are able to put headphones on for music, and then hearing protection over top. We have a mirror, where their TV is. In the past 7 years, I've had 21 MRIs, I have stage II brain cancer.
Thanks for sharing your story, sorry you're having to deal with that, have you met the wonderful Doctor, Mary Jane? xxxx Tbh I got a fair shock at the 3d aspect of this video - a definite first for me to interact with a RUclips video!
Lady Rose thanks for sharing. Did you do your MRI at UBC hospital ? I’m gonna do it it two weeks at UBC . Was wondering if the UBC one has tv as well . I’m extremely catastrophic

Had my first one today. I was concerned about feeling claustrophobic, but just closing my eyes, trying to focus on breathing and imagining I was laying on the beach helped a lot. They had a noticeable jet of fresh air going through the machine too, that was comforting and helped me relax. I will not say it was fun, but it certainly wasn't too bad
This looked wonderful compared to the one i had. Head blocks and earplugs were all i got. No tv and no music or mirror so all I had to stare up at was the roof of the machine and heard a faint voice twice throughout the 25 minutes saying they were moving me up a little. The noise was terrible even with headphones in and i felt buried. Maybe it varies in different hospitals but i shut my eyes and thankfully got through it that way but would never want to go back in again. Some of these machines on youtube look bigger than others also. My face felt so close to the roof and i felt squashed in unlike some shown on here.
I’m getting an MRI next week to check my spine since I was hit by a car in 1999. I have been complaining of pressure that forces my spine to curve inward as if bending forward at the lower spine.
my experience: when they tell you its easy to fall asleep, not so much. they gave me like a pillow and some earbuds, but they didnt work that well. i could still hear the beeping pretty clear. and the beeping- its.. very annoying and- just- well.. annoying. theres always a new type of beep. high pitch, or low pitch. fast, or slow. it feels very long. i didnt get anything to watch, maybe thats why. i would keep my eyes closed, aswell. i found it very weird to see myself when i couldnt keep my eyes shut from all the watering. in the end, its rewarding, cause you get food after all of the time you had to starve. (deadline to eat is 12:00 AM btw.) i made this for people who are going to take an mri scan. i hope you'll be ok!
@@livefortheafternoon I finished about an hour or so ago and I spent an hour and a half, honestly wasn’t that bad at all. Music helped I think, if the weird robot noises weren’t as loud it would be kind of relaxing
I didn't have to be sober for mine, but it will obviously depend on what type of scan of what body part they need to make. I was checked for epilepsy and it took about 45 minutes and I had to close my eyes and open them again a huge amount of times, just as I had to breathe in, hold it and breath out numerous times. In no way was I allowed to fall asleep should I felt the urge to.
No matter what they say,big you can't stand closed and tight spaces, u will never get it done. I ran out 3 different times, and they gave me pills to calm me down. No thank you
taking the scan is essential so your doctor knows what’s fully going on, they’ll tell you to calm down and / or give you pills because you’re going to have to do the scan either way. if you don’t do the scan you’ll practically be left untreated which can lead to further problems.
It's neat to see what it's like inside the machine. The hospital I go to gives you goggles that you can watch a movie through instead of the mirror thing, so I've never seen the inside of the machine while being physically in it.
This is a good one for people who have metal implants in their bodies and are unable to have a real one. I used to be able to have an MRI, but I had surgery in 2015 to implant a metal neuromodulation device to help with headaches, and I'm no longer able to have one.
Well I’d say this is actually pretty accurate. Just had one don’t to me today. Only difference was that there were 2 nurses, parents weren’t allowed, no tv, foam earplugs and no sound. ( that is coming from a tv or music ) I also had contrast injected before. I may of been a little claustrophobic because it felt like when I took a breath I didn’t take a full breath. And every time I did take a long deep breath, the stupid machine stopped and they told me I was moving too much. Bruh, like, “ I can breath, tryna find the xhail! “
Best advice keep your eyes closed all the time the first one i had i had a panic attack ii find i cope better keeping my eyes closed from start to finish
Had one last night. Took meds before. I think the trick is to never open your eyes as soon as you lay down and ask for earplugs and headphones before. I repeat-never open your eyes until you’re out and the test is completely over. Mine was 45 min long and without and with contrast injection. If you get it with and without contrast you go into that machine twice so don’t open your eyes! Even with meds I have to calm myself down as my breathing is erratic I have to talk myself through it in my mind. Hope this helps!
This is really realistic. I already been in this exam 2 time and even the song of the machine are exact the same, but there was not a TV. Of course is not so fast, takes about 10 - 15 minutes one session. In exception of the TV, this is a great job ilustrating how it happen. Congrats
No tv, no mirror, just a cagelike contraption. I am not claustrophobic but still I kept my eyes closed. However the worst thing was the noise. The jackhammer sequence starten, the table was shaking violently and I could see flashing lights ( apparently that was my retina). I thought the machine was broken, it was so scary.
I could listen to my favorite radio station back in the 2000's, but most of it got lost due to the NOISE of the machine :P (old Magnetom one, the modern ones are probably a little less loud these days though I am not sure).
These are the noises that terrified me , I had a whole childhood of MRI'S, and they were wayy longer than that, I had no TV to watch, just music and even then I would still hear that dreadful noise
Auch, I only had one when I was like 11 or 12 and I didn't like it but it wasn't scary as well, just annoying to hear the whole machine hum and feeling the vibrations of it (and the annoyingly hard ear cushions meant as ear protection being shoved between my head and the cage). Can't imagine what a childhood of those must've been like... (Mine also took much much longer than in the video, but obviously it depends on what they are looking for, which, in my case was an attempt to find the area in my brain that was giving me epilepsy attacks).
I just had my first MRI today and it was really scary and small, not like this. The noises were so loud and if I looked up I felt like all my body wanted to do was run and get out of there. But atleast the doctor played linken park for me and evaesance , I think he thought I was emo but it’s all good cuz I am😜 I was in there for 45 min..
Did this today with nearly the same setup they gave me some type of headphones and i closed my eyes while in it felt like a half nap wasnt too bad. But did feel tired when waking up.
I had an MRI with a tv as a kid, the sounds while trying to watch tv is not exaggerated enough. I remember trying to watch SpongeBob and not being able to hear anything other then MRI scanning sounds.
Mine never have mirrors let alone a tv for that matter...I've once had one where they put music in the headphones but for me it just added to the noise and i had to stop. I use earplugs, headphones, and i make them stuff pillows on both sides of my head (the cage thing). That helps a little. Still super loud tho and you can FEEL the noise
The first time I had an MRI was like 15 years ago and they didn’t have this video screen. They slid me into the machine and I freaked the f out. Lol I had one today and they gave me ear plugs and an eye mask and I had a nice 15 min nap.
Did one today. No tv, no headphones, insanely loud banging, hands above my head, took a whole hour, my hands went numb, my back hurt like hell, I felt like crying honestly. 0/10
The noise from the machine is way louder than this video lets on. Im talking 110-125 decibels. Wear earplugs or you risk perment hearing loss and tinnitus! You will not hear the headphones while the scan is on the machine is that loud. A rock concert is 115-120db....
@@minewit8585 I didn't get earphones or earplugs, just ear cushions (probably because the earphones didn't fit my small head, not completely sure) pushed between the cage and my head (they were uncomfortable) and was asked for my favorite radio station. I could only follow what the station was playing when there was a pause between series.
Had my first MRI today on my left wrist. Had to lay face down with my left arm above my head and right arm down my side wasn’t the most comfortable I’ve been let’s say
@@devona457 don't worrie I was terrified but it turned out not to bad just keep looking at the mirror in front of you and you'll be fine... You got this👊
Rafael Rosa Thank you so much. Mine is 7.45 am in Reading, I’m still shaky, feel so silly, I’m annoyed with myself. I don’t want to worry others having MRI. Most people take no notice..xx
roblaa I did it!, oh my goodness I’m so happy, I did what you said, the worse part of an MRI is your own mind, once I was there I calmed down,, thank you x
The MRI I had did not even had a TV (Most likely would not watch it as I don't really watch TV these days anymore) What I did was just kept my eyes closed for most of the time. Thankfully I am not claustrophobic and a friend was able to answer some questions I had regarding MRIs due to her mom working with them as a living (It was an online friend so of coarse her Mom could not be the one to do the MRI test on me) So I wasn't really nervous. What I don't like is the IV. I mean I am sure most people don't like IVs. But other then that my MRI test went by fine.
This helped but also petrified me for my mri today, from what I hear theirs no movie and the technicians don’t talk to you .... imma walk in and tell them to pretend I’m a young child
You can always ask them that you are more comfortable when someone explains what they are going to do, which, in this case can be as simple as them making notion of "We are going to start the first series. This will take about 5 minutes" and when that's done and there is a pause while the machine get's readjusted "The second series will be at shorter intervals. The total amount of time will be around 8 minutes". That's how they did it with me, but then again, I was 11 or 12 at the time.
When I got my mri they let me play the Beatles but the sound of the mri was so loud it was like listening to an apocalyptic edition of their album
that is so funny😭

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT IS I’VE HAD THIS TWO TIMES AND THIS IS HOW THE SAME THING WORKED!!!
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for this educational video
i’m taking one tomorrow this one really helped me
my experience: when they tell you its easy to fall asleep, not so much. they gave me like a pillow and some earbuds, but they didnt work that well. i could still hear the beeping pretty clear. and the beeping- its.. very annoying and- just- well.. annoying. theres always a new type of beep. high pitch, or low pitch. fast, or slow. it feels very long. i didnt get anything to watch, maybe thats why. i would keep my eyes closed, aswell. i found it very weird to see myself when i couldnt keep my eyes shut from all the watering. in the end, its rewarding, cause you get food after all of the time you had to starve. (deadline to eat is 12:00 AM btw.) i made this for people who are going to take an mri scan. i hope you'll be ok!
Do you have a deadline for every type of mri
@@Glizzy. im not sure. i had 30 minutes in there.
@@livefortheafternoon I finished about an hour or so ago and I spent an hour and a half, honestly wasn’t that bad at all. Music helped I think, if the weird robot noises weren’t as loud it would be kind of relaxing
I dunno how but I fell asleep
I didn't have to be sober for mine, but it will obviously depend on what type of scan of what body part they need to make. I was checked for epilepsy and it took about 45 minutes and I had to close my eyes and open them again a huge amount of times, just as I had to breathe in, hold it and breath out numerous times.
In no way was I allowed to fall asleep should I felt the urge to.
It is hot as hell in a MRI
No matter what they say,big you can't stand closed and tight spaces, u will never get it done.
I ran out 3 different times, and they gave me pills to calm me down.
No thank you
taking the scan is essential so your doctor knows what’s fully going on, they’ll tell you to calm down and / or give you pills because you’re going to have to do the scan either way. if you don’t do the scan you’ll practically be left untreated which can lead to further problems.
Most hospitals now have open scan MRI machines. So if you're claustrophobic just ask for one of those.
It's neat to see what it's like inside the machine. The hospital I go to gives you goggles that you can watch a movie through instead of the mirror thing, so I've never seen the inside of the machine while being physically in it.
I will be going for one tomorrow. Good to come across something like this. Thank you for making this video. I will post later how I did🙂
Good luck! 🍀 I am going to do this MRI tomorrow (Monday)
thanks for 360! because im going to do a mri scan in a few days
This is a good one for people who have metal implants in their bodies and are unable to have a real one. I used to be able to have an MRI, but I had surgery in 2015 to implant a metal neuromodulation device to help with headaches, and I'm no longer able to have one.
Ok you made my heart rate go up. Even though im not there i am spooked
You still support Biden? 😏
I am having an MRI tomorrow so this is kinda relieving to see how easy it looks. I hope I get to watch minions too 😂😂
Well I’d say this is actually pretty accurate. Just had one don’t to me today. Only difference was that there were 2 nurses, parents weren’t allowed, no tv, foam earplugs and no sound. ( that is coming from a tv or music ) I also had contrast injected before. I may of been a little claustrophobic because it felt like when I took a breath I didn’t take a full breath. And every time I did take a long deep breath, the stupid machine stopped and they told me I was moving too much. Bruh, like, “ I can breath, tryna find the xhail! “
They have a TV, when I've been through this, they'd put me music
This helped me a lot I’m having an MRI tomorrow
Now kids, make sure to be safe, or you’ll end up in this scary machine.
Breh
Best advice keep your eyes closed all the time the first one i had i had a panic attack ii find i cope better keeping my eyes closed from start to finish
Having one done tomorrow, I’m going to keep my eyes closed from the start. Hopefully I can get through it.
I didn't have a mirror or a TV, I had to close my eyes-
This looks like the most peaceful MRI ever
That room looks so inviting must be a children’s hospital
Had one last night. Took meds before. I think the trick is to never open your eyes as soon as you lay down and ask for earplugs and headphones before. I repeat-never open your eyes until you’re out and the test is completely over. Mine was 45 min long and without and with contrast injection. If you get it with and without contrast you go into that machine twice so don’t open your eyes! Even with meds I have to calm myself down as my breathing is erratic I have to talk myself through it in my mind. Hope this helps!
Lucky, I didn't get to watch a movie. I lay there in absolute boredom for an hour.
Nice video and information! Btw what camera do u use there? Is it okay to filming with DSLR?
This is really realistic. I already been in this exam 2 time and even the song of the machine are exact the same, but there was not a TV. Of course is not so fast, takes about 10 - 15 minutes one session.
In exception of the TV, this is a great job ilustrating how it happen.
Congrats
I’ve been through this in real life, I just rember being told I was asleep for 8 hours in my hospital room.
Having done tanning beds in the late 90s, this is a cake walk.
😂😂😂😂
had my MRI today.. no friendly nurse and no tv screen..... just loud noise and a mirror to constantly see my own silly face.
Are you handsome?
I wish they did this video 3 years ago when I was doing my first mri.
I forgot what video I was watching for a minute. Minions was dope
No tv, no mirror, just a cagelike contraption. I am not claustrophobic but still I kept my eyes closed. However the worst thing was the noise. The jackhammer sequence starten, the table was shaking violently and I could see flashing lights ( apparently that was my retina). I thought the machine was broken, it was so scary.
I’m about to take an MRI right now, so this helped a lot!! Hope they have a movie screen above me or my claustrophobia will trigger lol
What’s clostrophobia
Diamond Gaming fear of small spaces
Mission FAILED Will Get Em Next Time more specifically, fear of enclosed or confined spaces.
Thanks
You can ask for a light towel or washcloth to place over your eyes. That should help big time.
Its so cool ! Its like your in it in Real life!
Great content!
I had a brain + full spine mri done in 2016. Lasted 45 minutes, and I listened to classic rock the entire time.
I could listen to my favorite radio station back in the 2000's, but most of it got lost due to the NOISE of the machine :P (old Magnetom one, the modern ones are probably a little less loud these days though I am not sure).
These are the noises that terrified me , I had a whole childhood of MRI'S, and they were wayy longer than that, I had no TV to watch, just music and even then I would still hear that dreadful noise
Auch, I only had one when I was like 11 or 12 and I didn't like it but it wasn't scary as well, just annoying to hear the whole machine hum and feeling the vibrations of it (and the annoyingly hard ear cushions meant as ear protection being shoved between my head and the cage).
Can't imagine what a childhood of those must've been like... (Mine also took much much longer than in the video, but obviously it depends on what they are looking for, which, in my case was an attempt to find the area in my brain that was giving me epilepsy attacks).
How did this not ruin that 360 degrees camera
I think they placed the noises over the video along with the movie audio
Maybe the machine was decommissioned and quenched and they used the sounds in editing, only thing I can think off.
I just had my first MRI today and it was really scary and small, not like this. The noises were so loud and if I looked up I felt like all my body wanted to do was run and get out of there. But atleast the doctor played linken park for me and evaesance , I think he thought I was emo but it’s all good cuz I am😜 I was in there for 45 min..
It’s like a bad dubstep track in the back ground.
Did this today with nearly the same setup they gave me some type of headphones and i closed my eyes while in it felt like a half nap wasnt too bad. But did feel tired when waking up.
Had a 2 hr MRI. Brought earplugs and my blindfold. I was fine.
I had an MRI with a tv as a kid, the sounds while trying to watch tv is not exaggerated enough. I remember trying to watch SpongeBob and not being able to hear anything other then MRI scanning sounds.
I couldnt sit still I’d burst from laughing from the movie 😆
I had the mirror and tv,it was so good it was playing toy story.
This is very accurate
Mine never have mirrors let alone a tv for that matter...I've once had one where they put music in the headphones but for me it just added to the noise and i had to stop.
I use earplugs, headphones, and i make them stuff pillows on both sides of my head (the cage thing). That helps a little. Still super loud tho and you can FEEL the noise
is that camera possible entering MRI room?, what kind 360 camera made from non-ferromagnetic component?
my main concern is laying down and feeling my blood pressure go up, AND my sinus issue making my head feel like crap
I had an ct scan and 3 Tesla mri it is kinda nervous but when you enter the machine it's not so bad as you expect
This is perfect for little kids who are scared of big machines
Yeah
What about adults
The first time I had an MRI was like 15 years ago and they didn’t have this video screen. They slid me into the machine and I freaked the f out. Lol I had one today and they gave me ear plugs and an eye mask and I had a nice 15 min nap.
i couldn’t do it i’m too claustrophobic
god bless you all!
Did one today. No tv, no headphones, insanely loud banging, hands above my head, took a whole hour, my hands went numb, my back hurt like hell, I felt like crying honestly. 0/10
I’m getting an mri soon I can’t watch a movie but I can listen to music!
* mri turns off *
creepy voice trough headphones: "Someone's here with you"
The noise from the machine is way louder than this video lets on. Im talking 110-125 decibels. Wear earplugs or you risk perment hearing loss and tinnitus!
You will not hear the headphones while the scan is on the machine is that loud. A rock concert is 115-120db....
yes but with good headphones it gets damped to about 70-90 decibels
@@minewit8585 I didn't get earphones or earplugs, just ear cushions (probably because the earphones didn't fit my small head, not completely sure) pushed between the cage and my head (they were uncomfortable) and was asked for my favorite radio station. I could only follow what the station was playing when there was a pause between series.
Wow, it is cool how you can move it around, how do you do that?
It's a 360 degrees camera ;).
Had my first MRI today on my left wrist. Had to lay face down with my left arm above my head and right arm down my side wasn’t the most comfortable I’ve been let’s say
I've had two it gets easier but the first time i just tried to focus on how weird i thought the sounds were so it didn't freak me tf out lmao
Wow that was so cool
I'm having neck MRI tomorrow and I'm pooing
roblaa I’m having one 2 days time and I’m really nervous about claustrophobia
@@devona457 don't worrie I was terrified but it turned out not to bad just keep looking at the mirror in front of you and you'll be fine... You got this👊
Rafael Rosa Thank you so much. Mine is 7.45 am in Reading, I’m still shaky, feel so silly, I’m annoyed with myself. I don’t want to worry others having MRI. Most people take no notice..xx
roblaa I did it!, oh my goodness I’m so happy, I did what you said, the worse part of an MRI is your own mind, once I was there I calmed down,, thank you x
The MRI I had did not even had a TV (Most likely would not watch it as I don't really watch TV these days anymore) What I did was just kept my eyes closed for most of the time. Thankfully I am not claustrophobic and a friend was able to answer some questions I had regarding MRIs due to her mom working with them as a living (It was an online friend so of coarse her Mom could not be the one to do the MRI test on me) So I wasn't really nervous. What I don't like is the IV. I mean I am sure most people don't like IVs. But other then that my MRI test went by fine.
LOL. When I had my mri I had music, a blanket and 2 pairs of headphones. I also got to choose my music playlist. Ofc I chose tiktok songs lik
Why did my mri blast me tunes from the 1950’s, involve a cannula and take an hour 🥴🥴
Think that was a CT scan buddy.
@@tinaloye2014 can confirm it was a head MRI which they had to put dye in to highlight everything. It was all normal though 😉
Zoe M Ick, my bad sorry but glad to hear you’re ok bud 👍
Imagine watching this video while doing an MRI
This helped but also petrified me for my mri today, from what I hear theirs no movie and the technicians don’t talk to you .... imma walk in and tell them to pretend I’m a young child
You can always ask them that you are more comfortable when someone explains what they are going to do, which, in this case can be as simple as them making notion of "We are going to start the first series. This will take about 5 minutes" and when that's done and there is a pause while the machine get's readjusted "The second series will be at shorter intervals. The total amount of time will be around 8 minutes".
That's how they did it with me, but then again, I was 11 or 12 at the time.
Yeah i wish this is what its like😂. Ive had 2, its literally like a jackhammer going off next to you in a small ass tunnel.
I got one today wasn’t as bad as I thought
