Specialized Brain MRI Scan Sounds Inside Scan for Brain Shunt 

Had a brain scan done two days ago. Used this to prepare and it was quite helpful

coincidentally, my doctor ordered a brain MRI w/ contrast today when you uploaded this video

thank you for my request, brought me back some bittersweet memories

The t1 flair saggital is crazy powerful, got me shaking like a jelly

I have a bit of superficial knowledge of MRI (once in the 80's I wrote a thesis on them). Whenever I undero a MRI, I try to correlate the noise to what I know the machine is doing and what is being seen... sounds silly, but it reallly helps me relax during an hour-long MRI.

I just wanted to let you know I've been listening to your videos as research for a sci-fi manuscript I'm editing. It's thankfully been a very long time since I've had to hear these sounds in person. Thanks for your work!

this is the exact mri scan I had

Read this if you're nervous about getting an mri. I will be commenting on as many mri videos as I can in these next few weeks, because it seems so many people struggle with these and I want to help. I was so scared to get my mri. I got one on my brain and neck. I'm a 22 year old, tiny woman who is terrified of loud noises and doesn't care for small spaces. Everyone online, especially on youtube, got me really worked up about it, and I cried and refused to get in the machine. So my insurance didn't get to pay for it. I had to come back again with a valium and pay out of pocket. I thought the mri would be so loud, that I'd be jumping and panicking, and have a panic attack. My aunt had to come in there with me and hold my foot. And they had to talk to me before I got in there. The mri was nowhere near as loud as everyone said it was going to be. And for me, it was pretty spacious. They didn't even put me all the way in there, just a fourth to half way in the tunnel. It wasn't bad at all. The noise and music wasn't that loud. The sounds were muffled, as the ear protection worked well. It wasn't even as loud as school pep rally's nor was it as loud as the music I listen to. (Of course that might be because I had headphones and stuff on.) It didn't even sound as loud as this video when I was in there. Everyone says it's super loud and scary, but it wasn't. It was like being in a giant microwave. That's what it sounded like to me. It was bright and I could see some out of the tunnel. It was more relaxing than scary, and it went by so fast. Felt like it had only been ten minutes, but I was in there for about 40 something minutes. I could do it again and wouldn't mind. I am the biggest wuss you will ever meet, and this is different for everyone, but it really isn't anything to be afraid of. It was just like getting an x-ray. It was no big deal. I got upset about it for no reason. It was safe and fine. And yes, the old ones are a little worse than the new ones, but I still don't think it's as bad as everyone says they are. I'm just a stranger online telling you it isn't bad, when all the other strangers are telling you it is, and that's hard. But I can't even go to movie theaters because I think they're "too loud", but this didn't even sound that loud, because of the ear protection. I'd rather get an mri again then go to a pep rally, lumberjack show, concert, movie theater, or anything of that sort. I'm sorry when I write, it's so long. I will try to make some shorter comments elsewhere. lol. But yeah, It's okay. Don't be scared.

Thank you

3 types of FLAIR sequences and they all sound different.. thats interesting. I always thought it was one type of flair sequence.

Wish you could get a Siemens Sonata doing DWI

have you done bile ducts ever? I would love to hear those noises. :)

so awesome!! nice to listen to :)

I have a shunt in my brain from when I had surgery as a baby and I had an MRI 2 years ago and heard all of these sounds

My favorite sequence is axial t2 flair 😀

4:47 oh yes who is there? 2 seconds later darth vader is invading you

Its a next video like this coming its very interesting btw I can hear these sounds even at full volume of my headphones and it doesn't bother me the videos made me lose my claustrophod and was able to do my mr atrhoscopie mri scan without any problems which made my hand surgery yesterday more successful and I am now tumor free I never refuse to scan a mri again rather I have developed a very great interest in this technique which is why I want to learn more from it and these videos here even show a completely scann and did you ever hear the sound of a phillips ingenia its really relaxing and beautiful

awesome video nice to see these old schppl scanners still operating couple questions ive never had an mri before before so what advice would you give someone who's going to have one and where was this video taken?

Maneiro!em 3D

I also had a broken hand and felt tingling in my hand the entire time lol

Are theses sounds different for everyone? Cause the ones at 1:49 21:45 i can't recall ever hearing

Hey. Thanks for another mri noises vid I love these vids! I heard crossing ur arms or legs during mri could cause RF burns. Is that true?

I’ve been getting ct scans and mris every year for my shunt but now they’re switching me over to ct scans cuz I recently had a shunt failure and they had to replace it with a programmable one and so far it’s been functioning properly spent 5 days in the hospital for it

Fire alarm sound 🚨🤣❤️👍

Man höhrt that it has power but times ne question for what does the abbreviation DWI stand for?

What’s the optimal time for brain mri without contrast ? I’ll need one again. I don’t remember how long it was when I had it in 2018 but I think max 30 min. Although I had literally no protection on my ears. Intentional for brain scans or no ? I thought I’ll go deaf

What do you use when there isn't a patient's head to put the head coil on? Is that some balloon thing in the back?

I remember when I did a CT the machine talked to me saying Breathe in Breathe out

I have safe, cotton clothes I'd worn during many MRI's. No metal. Something must have gone wrong for someone else. Had to change to a gown last week. I use a walker and put on two gowns. Vertigo from MS since 1978. :/ Annoying: used to get right into the machine, no delay, (with diazepam - claustrophobic.) I like to listen to Classic Rock: lyrics on first song a week ago "Here I go again on my own", I'd wanted to laugh. What music do you choose? Thanks for the video! Space Invaders! 🔊

shoutout to mris

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻 ♥

Can you mabey do a video on a pet scan?

Time 18:40 for example- this fast hammery knocking is part of scanning or it’s just something to rearrange the magnets and not scan something at that moment ? The hammery Knocking that I had in TH mri had me laughing. It wasn’t accompanied by other sounds. Just few empty knocks coming out of silence

One more thing, can you explain that sound at 2:00 and what it is?

I love you 😘💕❤️

where is DTI and TOF?

Been there done that... a bit too much....

Sank you

I hate mri thay to lawed I don't like the sawed or hawe fast it is I just had won it was ofl
