I had one head first and it was okay. They talk to you the whole time if needed and can remove you when you request.

You know what would make an mri a nicer experience? If when finished they had a nice coffee or tea ready for you.

Had one today.. Worst thing about this is when folks walk past the room talking and you keep thinking they coming to tell you its over, but they just walking pass. This machine will also let you know if you like yourself, cause you have to do alot of self talking to keep yourself calm.

I'm also going to have an MRI on January 31st. I hope I'm not afraid. I'm especially afraid of noises and then I tend to make sudden movements

Wondering if you can take a anti-anxiety medication before it

@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial 3 ай бұрын

Hi @julierosenberg491, yes, you are more than welcome to take any anti-anxiety medication - just can't be sleeping during the scan as some of the sequences will require breath holds - so you need to be alert. Have a wonderful day!

Hi @bharatlama2729, Mayfair Diagnostics is a medical imaging provider, not a medical clinic so we can not provide medical advice. To investigate any symptoms or concerns, you will need to see a medical doctor who may then request medical imaging. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Have a good day.

If a patient has severe COPD, how long will they be asked to hold their breath ????

@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial 8 ай бұрын

Hi @city-bisquits, the longest breath holds in MRI are typically around 25 seconds. However, most are around 15-20 seconds.

No contrast? I thought they had to?

@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial Жыл бұрын

Hi, 90% of the time - yes. Contrast is best to see the organs - so depending on what the doctors are looking for - contrast helps.

Is it necessary to done with empty tummy ?

@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial 2 ай бұрын

Hi @hayahaya1655, Yes - if there are contents in the stomach - it affects the scan in a few ways. Food increases motility, which increases motion artifact on the scan. Food also could potentially obscure any abnormalities. Finally - if we give an injection of IV contrast, and it causes nausea (which is a possible side effect), a full stomach will likely result in vomiting. I hope this helps with your question.

I have Crohns Disease and i had MRI IV CONTRAST and I Drink 3 17 OZ CONTRAST DRINKS 1 Hour before MRI IV CONTRAST. Do you do Alot of Drink CONTRAST with IV CONTRAST with people with Crohns Disease????

@MayfairDiagnosticsOfficial Жыл бұрын

Hi @johnschirloff836, This would be an Enterography exam and is the only exam that the patient would both drink and have IV contrast. This is a common exam to perform if Crohn's is in the patient history. Each patients requestion is protocoled by a tech or a radiologist and is radiologist dependant on whether it be CT or MR. This is determined depending on the patient history.

Respect, can endometriosis lesions and nodules be seen on magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis, without intravenous contrast? I am prone to allergies, the contrast is nephrotoxic, and I have endometriosis on my kidney, which hurts terribly during ovulation. I also have ovulation and menstruation rectally and vaginally. The examination was performed without contrast. Someone says that a real specialist can see the changes, others say that contrast is necessary, I'm interested in your professional opinion? Thanks in advance . Greetings.. 🫶

Hi @baccon_321, Gadolinium is NOT strictly necessary for the detection/diagnosis of endometrial deposits in the superficial or deep regions of the pelvis, or elsewhere in the abdomen or pelvis, and can therefore be seen and reported on a non-contrast MRI scan. The typical MRI sequences we would need to detect/diagnosis endometrial deposits are a T1 weighted sequence performed with fat saturation and a T2 weighted sequence without fat saturation. Gadolinium does have utility in detecting a known/prior endometrial deposit that is or has undergone malignant degeneration (i.e.: has become cancerous), although this is a rare occurrence and would not necessitate routine administration of gadolinium unless there is clinical suspicion (from a specialist gynecologist), as well detection of ovarian malignancy. I hope this helps a bit. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
