Experience and hope of MRI Scan done dated 16 August 2010
Heard before MRI scan can be scary but my own experience is MRI scan is quite normal test as other tests. It may take 15-30 minutes, of course depending on areas of body. My MRI was done only in lumbar region and it took about 15-20 minutes. My experience was like this: I went to MRI cabin and was asked if I have any metal with me, any pacemaker inside my body, or any metallic material used inside my body to perform surgery, my weight. The reason I understood since it is magnetic test, metal is not advised to have anywhere within the body. Then I lied down on the MRI scan bed and put ear-bud as it is noisy inside the machine when it starts and sent in slowly and was given a pumping tube to signal in case I need any help, and asked not to move during the MRI procedure. I was slowly sent in and started to think good things and it was very easily finished. I did not move, I just kept my faith on god, and it finished very normal way. So, MRI scan is like other very usual tests and there is no reason to be scared of it. I have appointment with doctor dated 20 August 2010 and hopefully actual reason of my illness will be sorted out and will receive curable treatment.
