Relax :-): Many people have difficulty with getting an MRI. If you struggle with small spaces or loud noises this may be a tough test to complete. See if there is an open MRI in your area. The way the machine is designed it eliminates some of the challenges of a typical MRI. If an open MRI is not an option ask your doctor to give you something to help you relax before the test.
