A member asked:

Dr used a 7 in" square ekg sticker on my chest as part of a cspine mri, i can't find anything about cine mri in my report, so why the sticker?

Monitoring: Some people get claustrophobic and vagal in an MRI. Your cardiac rhythm was very likely being monitored. Your hx lists dysautonomia. With your history, your doctor was likely being extra cautious.
