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.
