Question 3

could i wear contacts during an mri?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

can you be totally sedated during an mri?

Accepted Answer

POSSIBLE, BUT: Best you are relatively responsive during study, as you will be capable of working far better with the technician.  But many patients are quite claustrophobic, and require some sedation if a standard MRI machine is used.  Some solutions include the newer open mri, and the stand-up setup.  Discuss choices with your doctor, as the more open devices are a bit less precise.

Question 5

is it normal to feel sick during an mri scan?

Accepted Answer

Likely anxiety: The test is really quite easy. You lie on a platform that slides into the machine. Often headphones are provided for your favorite music. You just lie still and let the machine take pictures (you will hear some tapping sounds as the machine works). Sometimes an IV injection of contrast is given during the exam (depending on what is being evaluated).
