- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to provide detailed pictures of the abdominal and pelvic areas. This exam is a powerful tool for screening and diagnosis. Learn what happens during an abdominal MRI.

Thank you for including scanner noise, it will make it less startling for patients :)
Had one today.. Worst thing about this is when folks walk past the room talking and you keep thinking they coming to tell you its over, but they just walking pass. This machine will also let you know if you like yourself, cause you have to do alot of self talking to keep yourself calm.
You know what would make an mri a nicer experience? If when finished they had a nice coffee or tea ready for you.
Feet first I'm good to go. Head first will be a problem 😂😂
😂😂
Yesss😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm screaming cause baby i had one in the dark im claustrophobic woooo weee they had to give me medicine

Hi @bharatlama2729, Mayfair Diagnostics is a medical imaging provider, not a medical clinic so we can not provide medical advice. To investigate any symptoms or concerns, you will need to see a medical doctor who may then request medical imaging. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Have a good day.

If a patient has severe COPD, how long will they be asked to hold their breath ????
Hi @city-bisquits, the longest breath holds in MRI are typically around 25 seconds. However, most are around 15-20 seconds.
I'm also going to have an MRI on January 31st. I hope I'm not afraid. I'm especially afraid of noises and then I tend to make sudden movements
Got one done on the 16 of current month and tomorrow another one focusing on abdomen area! I’m so worry that willing to change my diet if necessary what I mean by that is staying away from alcohol. Good luck to yourself!
I'm going tomorrow to do it! My last experience was horrible, I couldn't finish cause I'm claustrophobic! And the holding of breath drives me nuts! The dr said,they have a new big machine, so I won't feel claustrophobic! Well we see.🤷♀️
I hope it was good. I go next week. So scared.
@@jayndough68 It was a breeze! The nurses were wonderful! Goodluck on yours.🙂
Wondering if you can take a anti-anxiety medication before it
Hi @julierosenberg491, yes, you are more than welcome to take any anti-anxiety medication - just can't be sleeping during the scan as some of the sequences will require breath holds - so you need to be alert. Have a wonderful day!
That’s a no and a hell no!
Close your eyes and chill,super easy
No contrast? I thought they had to?
Hi, 90% of the time - yes. Contrast is best to see the organs - so depending on what the doctors are looking for - contrast helps.
I did one in germany hospital they didnt give me even a gown i was so upset.
Naked? That sounds ghastly!
Is it necessary to done with empty tummy ?
Hi @hayahaya1655, Yes - if there are contents in the stomach - it affects the scan in a few ways. Food increases motility, which increases motion artifact on the scan. Food also could potentially obscure any abnormalities. Finally - if we give an injection of IV contrast, and it causes nausea (which is a possible side effect), a full stomach will likely result in vomiting. I hope this helps with your question.
@@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial ok thanks...
They can put you to sleep.
I have Crohns Disease and i had MRI IV CONTRAST and I Drink 3 17 OZ CONTRAST DRINKS 1 Hour before MRI IV CONTRAST.
Do you do Alot of Drink CONTRAST with IV CONTRAST with people with Crohns Disease????
Hi @johnschirloff836,
This would be an Enterography exam and is the only exam that the patient would both drink and have IV contrast.
This is a common exam to perform if Crohn's is in the patient history.
Each patients requestion is protocoled by a tech or a radiologist and is radiologist dependant on whether it be CT or MR. This is determined depending on the patient history.
@mayfairdiagnostics7927 With This Kind of MRI you do Not get a IV OR CONTRAST DRINK Correct????
