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.

@@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.
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

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.

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.
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. :)
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 UA-cam 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
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’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.
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.
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.
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.
Why would you watch a movie during a noisy MRI procedure? Isn’t that taxing your hearing to the max??? What is the decibel rate here? Any permanent hearing loss?
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.
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
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! “
only problem is, mris arent this short, and through the times ive been in an mri, it didnt have a movie playing. i had mutiple mris, one today, and they are hard. today it was over 50 minutes long, i felt numb, you cant move, you cant itch yourself, and if your uncomfertable, you cannot re adjust yourself. i even took xanax, and that did nothing. no, im not over reacting, that was my whole experience. they said it would be atleast 20-40 minutes long.
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).
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.
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!
Just had one and it lasted about 20-25 min.had headphones on with music that just masked the noise but after about 10 min. I started to get that confined feeling and started to count when they said this next test will take 4 min. and when I thought it was over they said next test will take 5 min. and so on, I almost lost it before it was over. To not move at all in a confined space yeah not looking forward to going through that again. I wouldn't say I am claustrophobic but after 10 - 15 min.I start to .
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
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 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.
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 just had my MRI done today I had to do it twice, once without dye and then with Luckily I didn't have to go in head first since it was for my hips and lower back, so I could still see outside of the machine and focus more on that It still took a long time, just under 2 hours
I have one coming up for pelvic region, so maybe I will still be able to see the ceiling tiles. If so, I'll be fine. I am also very tall and slim, and where I am going, they advertise "wide-bore" machines.
@@HJC1950 most definitely Just make sure to get comfortable and relax from the beginning and try your best not to move, otherwise you have to start over
Hello, I have question. I had scoliosis operation 28years ago in Iran, also I have 33cm still in my back. 2 times in iran, I did mri open 1. 5 t. But now I can't do, because I feel vibration and warming in under mri. But I want ask, Can I do mri with Harington rot in my back or not,? Because I thi k that maybe I afraid of mri and I feel vibration. Please help me. Because I have tumor in pituitary gland. Therefore I need to take mri
Can't give you medically sound advice anything else then: ask your doctor or the specialist ordering an MRI about these possibilities, express your concerns due to the experience you had the last time. Vibrations however, are normal, these machines are scarily powerfull and have huge magnets in them and the magnetic fields produced by them when working will cause mechanical stresses which, next to maybe the parts of the electronics responsible for producing those currents will induce a sound in the parts inside the machine. That said, a tumor at or in the pituitary gland is seriously something to get researched good, you don't want that part of your brain to malfunction (and you don't want that with any other part of your brain, but you get the idea). The pituitary gland is such an important piece of our brain.
I had one in Monklands Hospital, Airdrie about 3 years ago, and I,ve always been a bit claustrophobic, but the Doc said I could take CD,s in with me and they would play my choice of music, so I thought perhaps it would help take my mind off it. I arrived there , was handed two gowns to protect my modesty, you wear one back to front and one the right way round. I put them on and was called through to the room housing the scanner, when they opened the door and I saw it I was apprehensive, I really didn,t fancy it at all, but the staff put me at ease. I sat on the bed and my mouth felt dry so I was given a wee drink of water, I handed over a CD I knew the order of play and thought great this will really take my mind off it so they put on a set of head phones and found they couldn,t get the frame round my head (I,m a 7+1/8inch in a hat) so they found a smaller set of phones, still no joy so I would have to do without. Any way they gave me a button to press in case I panicked, it was a wee bit noisy, humming and clicking, and there was a mirror on the head frame to see the medical staff in their office. The hardest thing about it was all the rubbish that goes through your mind while you,re in there. About 3/4 the way through as I,m lying there watching the radiographer guy looking at the images on a computer monitor , he picks up the phone with a shocked look on his face staring into the monitor, then gets up quick and leaves his room and two mins later he,s back with a nurse and they,re both looking closely at the images and I,m thinking the worst ,what did they see? Two mins later they stopped the machine and came in to let me get up. It turns out the phone call was to tell him his brother had just been knocked off his motorbike by a lorry, and there was me thinking they had saw something odd on the scan. As I went back to get changed a young lady was in the dressing room for her 2nd attempt with tears in her eyes and thinking of giving up again, I said look there,s honestly nothing to it, just have a wee drink of water before you go in and you,ll be fine, so she agreed and later on in the hospital canteen she thanked me for putting her at ease. So there you go if I can do it and this young lady can do it, there is nothing to it. Hope this helps anybody who is worried about going for a scan. P.S. they gave me earplugs.
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.
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
It really depends on what they are imaging and how. It was about the same for me when they tried to look what part of my brain was causing my epilepsy attacks, took about 45 minutes and there were only pauses of about 3-4 seconds before the next slice they were going to take by having the machine use a different pattern or something.
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 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).
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.

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
Hope you are alright now buddy
Hope you’re doing fine as of now.
Vr setup: focus on doctors
ME: *sees minions in the background*

emmy did I do something wrong :(
+Me looks to my side+
Me: who tf is that-
She says dad
Me: DAD!??
Me: that was a long trip to the shops
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!
if only I could have an ounce of your imaginative abilities😂

@Ali Al-Mahdi あななななや
That's actually a great idea! I have my first MRI tomorrow, and I'm definitely feeling a little nervous. I think I'll try that framing device. :)
It looks like a absolute nightmare
What happened I was watching the Despicable Me?? LOL
Rea wach it
Ohhhhh ok

Cookie Games were aa a lot better and better with this new I don’t have any good game at this game and it’s really hard I want the new I was something
ya i was just watching the movie not even the machine...
yes i liked my own comment........
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.
I hope it went fine
Are you ok?
You alright?
I'm planning to get a MRI on my knee excited a little scared too. But I know my doctor will help my though the MRI.
She died for us bitches
Thank you I’m having a MRI test soon and this really helps me.
I wish I was able to watch a movie! They put ear buds in my ears and I sit there for 30 minutes
sound: loud
people: *wiggles cuz of sounds*
me: *silent cry
$* %=£!$2^9!$^*£6856&!$$&
omg thank you so much for this! i really needed to make sure i wouldn’t be scared and this actually helped with my anxiety i had .
Not all of them have movies and its loud af if you have to not wear headphones
Oh God.. the terrifying memories has taken over..
i’m taking one tomorrow this one really helped me
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.
That’s so bad, im sorry but what is the headblock for?
The dad be like this ~_~
lmao
Yes
I've had MRI scans since I was 6-7 years old and they still freak me to this day
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.
MRI doctor: you may use headphones...
Me: can i listen to my favorite rock?
Close your eyes at all times during the test and imagine yourself in an open nice place
Yes
Use an eye mask , like the ones we use to sleep and don’t open ur eye 👁
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.
Thank you so much I’m getting an mri in a few days and this really helped
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)
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT IS I’VE HAD THIS TWO TIMES AND THIS IS HOW THE SAME THING WORKED!!!
Why would you watch a movie during a noisy MRI procedure? Isn’t that taxing your hearing to the max???
What is the decibel rate here? Any permanent hearing loss?
This looks like the most peaceful MRI ever
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.
That room looks so inviting must be a children’s hospital
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
(Lady keeps talking)
Me: BE QUIET IM WATCHING THIS!
my main concern is laying down and feeling my blood pressure go up, AND my sinus issue making my head feel like crap
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 am having an MRI tomorrow so this is kinda relieving to see how easy it looks. I hope I get to watch minions too 😂😂
It is hot as hell in a MRI
Wow, it is cool how you can move it around, how do you do that?
It's a 360 degrees camera ;).
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.
Wait its a movie now? Not just random music?
0:36 how did they get a TV in there?
This helped me a lot I’m having an MRI tomorrow
Ok you made my heart rate go up. Even though im not there i am spooked
You still support Biden? 😏
They have a TV, when I've been through this, they'd put me music
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! “
You can ask for a light towel or washcloth to place over your eyes. That should help big time.
thanks for 360! because im going to do a mri scan in a few days
is that camera possible entering MRI room?, what kind 360 camera made from non-ferromagnetic component?
Having done tanning beds in the late 90s, this is a cake walk.
😂😂😂😂
only problem is, mris arent this short, and through the times ive been in an mri, it didnt have a movie playing. i had mutiple mris, one today, and they are hard. today it was over 50 minutes long, i felt numb, you cant move, you cant itch yourself, and if your uncomfertable, you cannot re adjust yourself. i even took xanax, and that did nothing. no, im not over reacting, that was my whole experience. they said it would be atleast 20-40 minutes long.
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
I forgot what video I was watching for a minute. Minions was dope
i couldn’t do it i’m too claustrophobic
Now kids, make sure to be safe, or you’ll end up in this scary machine.
Breh
MY PARENTS ARE DRUNK WHEN THEY DID THE MRI SCAN ON ME LIKE THEY STARTED CHECKING MY BACK FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
Thank you. It helps to know what to expect.
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?
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).
Lucky, I didn't get to watch a movie. I lay there in absolute boredom for an hour.
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.
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!
Hi IPEM. Can i use your video for my study purpose?
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.
Just had one and it lasted about 20-25 min.had headphones on with music that just masked the noise but after about 10 min. I started to get that confined feeling and started to count when they said this next test will take 4 min. and when I thought it was over they said next test will take 5 min. and so on, I almost lost it before it was over. To not move at all in a confined space yeah not looking forward to going through that again. I wouldn't say I am claustrophobic but after 10 - 15 min.I start to .
I didn't have a mirror or a TV, I had to close my eyes-
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
How is the mri scanner magnet not destroying the camera
Which hospital
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
It’s like a bad dubstep track in the back ground.
Who is recording this right now?
I’m getting an mri soon I can’t watch a movie but I can listen to music!
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.
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 wish they did this video 3 years ago when I was doing my first mri.
I just had my MRI done today
I had to do it twice, once without dye and then with
Luckily I didn't have to go in head first since it was for my hips and lower back, so I could still see outside of the machine and focus more on that
It still took a long time, just under 2 hours
I have one coming up for pelvic region, so maybe I will still be able to see the ceiling tiles. If so, I'll be fine. I am also very tall and slim, and where I am going, they advertise "wide-bore" machines.
@@HJC1950 most definitely
Just make sure to get comfortable and relax from the beginning and try your best not to move, otherwise you have to start over
@@KawaiiandDark Thank you!
Hello, I have question.
I had scoliosis operation 28years ago in Iran, also I have 33cm still in my back.
2 times in iran, I did mri open 1. 5 t.
But now I can't do, because I feel vibration and warming in under mri.
But I want ask, Can I do mri with Harington rot in my back or not,?
Because I thi k that maybe I afraid of mri and I feel vibration.
Please help me.
Because I have tumor in pituitary gland.
Therefore I need to take mri
Can't give you medically sound advice anything else then: ask your doctor or the specialist ordering an MRI about these possibilities, express your concerns due to the experience you had the last time.
Vibrations however, are normal, these machines are scarily powerfull and have huge magnets in them and the magnetic fields produced by them when working will cause mechanical stresses which, next to maybe the parts of the electronics responsible for producing those currents will induce a sound in the parts inside the machine.
That said, a tumor at or in the pituitary gland is seriously something to get researched good, you don't want that part of your brain to malfunction (and you don't want that with any other part of your brain, but you get the idea).
The pituitary gland is such an important piece of our brain.
I had one in Monklands Hospital, Airdrie about 3 years ago, and I,ve always been a bit claustrophobic, but the Doc said I could take CD,s in with me and they would play my choice of music, so I thought perhaps it would help take my mind off it. I arrived there , was handed two gowns to protect my modesty, you wear one back to front and one the right way round. I put them on and was called through to the room housing the scanner, when they opened the door and I saw it I was apprehensive, I really didn,t fancy it at all, but the staff put me at ease. I sat on the bed and my mouth felt dry so I was given a wee drink of water, I handed over a CD I knew the order of play and thought great this will really take my mind off it so they put on a set of head phones and found they couldn,t get the frame round my head (I,m a 7+1/8inch in a hat) so they found a smaller set of phones, still no joy so I would have to do without. Any way they gave me a button to press in case I panicked, it was a wee bit noisy, humming and clicking, and there was a mirror on the head frame to see the medical staff in their office. The hardest thing about it was all the rubbish that goes through your mind while you,re in there. About 3/4 the way through as I,m lying there watching the radiographer guy looking at the images on a computer monitor , he picks up the phone with a shocked look on his face staring into the monitor, then gets up quick and leaves his room and two mins later he,s back with a nurse and they,re both looking closely at the images and I,m thinking the worst ,what did they see? Two mins later they stopped the machine and came in to let me get up. It turns out the phone call was to tell him his brother had just been knocked off his motorbike by a lorry, and there was me thinking they had saw something odd on the scan. As I went back to get changed a young lady was in the dressing room for her 2nd attempt with tears in her eyes and thinking of giving up again, I said look there,s honestly nothing to it, just have a wee drink of water before you go in and you,ll be fine, so she agreed and later on in the hospital canteen she thanked me for putting her at ease. So there you go if I can do it and this young lady can do it, there is nothing to it. Hope this helps anybody who is worried about going for a scan. P.S. they gave me earplugs.
Thanks for this. Mine's tomorrow. Bit scared. Big baby l am. 😊
I’ve been through this in real life, I just rember being told I was asleep for 8 hours in my hospital room.
Is this supposed to be helpful?
What County is this in????
Nice video and information! Btw what camera do u use there? Is it okay to filming with DSLR?
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.
Had a 2 hr MRI. Brought earplugs and my blindfold. I was fine.
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
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for this educational video
I think you would need much more than an MRI if your legs where insanely still and you can turn your head in all directions
I didnt get any of this treatment I got something blocking my eyes and headphones with a lady going "hOLd uR bReaTh" and then "bReaThe" the whole time
It really depends on what they are imaging and how. It was about the same for me when they tried to look what part of my brain was causing my epilepsy attacks, took about 45 minutes and there were only pauses of about 3-4 seconds before the next slice they were going to take by having the machine use a different pattern or something.
* mri turns off *
creepy voice trough headphones: "Someone's here with you"
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 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).
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.
