MRI Scanner walkthrough - what to expect at your appointment 

I been a MRI tech for 4 years! If you have high anxiety I have a few tips for you! Bring a friend or family member to come in room with you! Ask if they have music for you to listen while getting scanned, cover your eyes with a wash cloth or ask your doctor for a sedative before you schedule the test. Also ask the tech to give you a count down during the scan. Ask them to talk to you every 3 minutes. This really helps.Remember breathe normal. Pretend you are going to sleep or think about a fun time and just focus on that. Avoid caffeine. The tech will always give you a emergency call button if you have to come out. Ask if you can take a look at the machine before the scan. If this fails , look for a open mri in your area.

Had a scan today 03/08/2022 in the new 3T scanner at Derriford Hospital. Brilliant scanner, not as noisy as the older ones in my opinion but still noisy. Directions to the new 3T MRI scanner are still not listed on Derrifords web site. The New 3T scanner is on Level 3 at the Terence Lewis Building. The Freedom Unit Entrance.

If you are wearing noise blocking headphones or earplugs how can the MRI tech talk to you?
