It makes a very loud knocking sound and some other strange noises at dissimilar times. It is a very tight surface area only in that location was plenty of air circulation then I did fine. They do slide your whole body in in that location. They will virtually likely talk to you at diverse times to make certain you lot're doing okay. It was a much easier test for me than I thought it would exist. Adept Luck! |

They slid me in college for the lumbar area but I was able to peek out the top of the machine so I was able to keep my sophistication. It'south closed but it's an open tube with an open top and lesser. My head was all the mode up for lumbar but it was better since I was closer to the top. I couldn't take meds since I was nursing but made it through fine. Good luck. |

It was weird going into it, just they'll requite you headphones to listen to the radio. A few "knocking" noises and that'southward about it. The worst part of doing information technology with a lower lumbar is that y'all'll be on your back for that entire time. I was glad it was over, but, there isn't any pain with the auto itself. The rest of the time is spent filling out paperwork, asking questions, etc. |

The 3rd fourth dimension in, I had to take an anti-anxiety med (prescribed from my family physician), I was so nervous. The more MRI'due south I have washed, the more scared I am becoming unfortunately. My lumbar MRI's lasted about 25 mins each time. __________________ Anneka |

Your caput goes in first and the top of the tube is most 2 inches from your face. If yous are claustrophobic I would suggest that you lot keep your optics closed and merely mind to the radio on the headset. Don't panic! They also commonly give you a cablegram to clasp if you need to talk or anything. Good Luck. |
