HOW TO COPE WITH THE MRI EXPERIENCE

There are some common concerns related to having an MRI. The test is generally safe and painless, with little risk for complication, but there are a few elements that may lead to discomfort and distress.
The biggest concern most people have is feeling claustrophobic. This occurs when someone is placed in a confined space, such as the MRI tube, and feels anxiety as a result. Although the use of mirrors may help, some people may need medications to help them feel more relaxed.
If you are concerned that you will become claustrophobic, you should make your needs known prior to the test. The use of open-ended (or open-sided) MRI machines can also alleviate this feeling.
If you are significantly obese, the MRI machine may be too small to fit you inside. The size restriction varies based on the machine, and alternatives can typically be found.
