Barsee23...

I wish you ALL THE LUCK in the WORLD! But you won't need it because you WILL breeze right through the Open MRI! TAKE CARE and let me know how it goes for you!

Why is everyone in here so afraid of doing traditional MRI-scans? Sounds like you guys need some benzos to fix some of those mental issues you have.

[KMichaelPorter]

"asdfjkli"...

In MY case, I was too big for the "traditional" MRI and NEEDED to MRI'd in the Open MRI!

Just one question for YOU...have YOU ever needed an MRI?

You know...SOME people MAY have fears of being enclosed in a Regular MRI!

I just had mine today.... I hope I never have to go through with it again. I am a big baby and wanted my mommy and daddy...

If you look closely its a green Tank, and Green means that its MRI safe, so there are no worry's of it getting pulled my the magnet

I had MRI on April 1st. Dang scared the crap of me. But that oxygen tank should be removed cause whenever happen that scanner can pull that metal into MRI scanner. Magnet field is very STRONG!

The open helps many claustro patients have the MRI but the Open MRI is also the weakest magnetic field due to its open construction. If you're having dense parts of your body studied (brain, abdomen, breast) you should have them scanned in a stronger Tesla scanner. 1.5 Tesla or greater. Stronger Magnet=Faster Study & Better Image Quality & a much better outcome to make an accurate diagnosis.

Thanks Michael, I know how hard it is as I am claustrophobic too.

[katierocks4108]

omg im only 13 and i had a MRI done it scared me at first but at the hospital i got to watch a movie why i was in the MRI through these little goggles anyways good job

[rozymisty]

try going in head first....at least when i had my wrist scanned most of my body was out of teh scanner...but wasnt comfy, my shoulder got numb after a while coz you cant move...didnt want to buzz

i can get claustophic, but i just focused on my breathing to get it over and done with. Plus i had the advantage, in some ways, of not being abl e to see well, coz i wear glasses so yeah.
