About 20 minutes. But it dependes on what part of the body. I personally think its hard for young children to have MRI scans because you have to stay still for that whole 20 mins, but they do make you very comfortable. Its also dangerous if you wear any metal or have a metal filling or pins in your arm, but they check you beforehand for any metal. The machine makes a lot of noise so they let you listen to music or just wear headphones.

∙ 14y agoA really long time, maybe half an hour, that you can't move you head. It's also real loud, so if you can, bring those little foam ear plugs with you and put them in before hand. Hope it helps!

∙ 13y agoNot knowing the specific kind of scan(s) that you need, it would be difficult to give you an exact answer to your question, to give you a general idea you can expect your MRI to take between 20-45 minutes typically. If you are having multiple areas imaged or are having a more intricate sequence done, it may take a little longer, but generally speaking 20-45 minutes is accurate.
Your scan will be broken into a number of different sequences which will typically last from one to several minutes in length. The technician who is performing your scan will talk you through the process so that you are aware when each new sequence is to begin and when you need to lay absolutely still.
You may find the following resource page that I linked to be helpful as it details what to expect from an MRI and also has a comprehensive 5 minute video which details a "real-life" scan.
