I have scoliosis(curvature of the spine)so I have had to have a countless # of MRIs.MRIs are extremely loud and unpleasant.Sometimes you have to have an IV put into your arm,but most of the time you don't.After laying down on the machine's bed it raises a couple feet and slowly goes into the machine.Once it goes inside,you have to stay COMPLETELY still.The entire process can take anywhere from 1 minute to 2 hours so they give you a squeeze ball that you squeeze if you need to take a bathroom break or just get some air.
No, not at all, nor do they hurt. The patient lies down on the 'bed', then the radiology technician glides the patient into the MRI scanning chamber. There will be a sound, similar to a lawn mower in a barrel, but not as loud. The process is completely comfortable, but if you are claustrophobic let them know and they can give you something to help keep you calm. However, if you are given something to calm you, you will probably have to have someone to drive you home afterwards.
Youll be asked to lie on a bed which slowly moves in to a short tunnel . This contains the magnets that are the scanning devices. There will be a noise as the scan moves around you. You will not see anything moving but you will here the device activate. It can be a little claustrophobic as you lie very still in a tunnel but its not really unpleasant
MRI scans look at the inside of the human body. The machines can be a little loud due to the magnetic activity used to produce the images of the inside of the body.
A CT scan is about $300 to $6750, while a MRI scan is $400 to $12,000.
no it is not possible to have an MRI scan because the dfibrillator is dirupted by magnets and that is what an MRI is, a giant magnet.
A bone scan, or x-ray is simply a different type of scan than an MRI. No kind of scan is better than another, it simply depends what the scan is trying to ascertain.
A PET scan shows what level / stage (if any) the cancer is at. An MRI scan doesn't do this, the reader, looks for abnormalities on the scan which shows up everything in the body.
No. It is not a treatment it is a scan. An MRI is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI are used for imaging tissues.
the bad thing about an MRI scan is if you are claustrophobic or don't like small spaces, it will be difficult because you have to wait there for a while. another bad thing is that it is very expensive as the machine is expensive!
MRI Scan and CAT Scan.
An MRI can be a way of diagnosing a person with epilepsy, but does not have any effect on epilepsy. It is just used to scan the brain.An MRI can be a way of diagnosing a person with epilepsy, but does not have any effect on epilepsy.

Mri of the body... Or a cat scan of the head
It depends on what the problem with the elbow is. If it is a bone related injury then the CT scan will show more detail but if the problem is with the muscles or ligaments, then the MRI Scan will be more useful.

no, you wear a hospital gown.
