Sue,
In my experience the brain MRI is the same as others. First they will do without contrast...then with.
I always use the earplugs, ask for a cloth to cover my eyes so I don't 'cheat' and accidentally open them, get TWO blankets because I am always so cold. Then, I 'go away' to a nice place, or anticipate something fun coming up.
The most trouble I have is getting the iv placed. Many times the iv team or an anesthesiologist is called to do it. Bad veins.
Otherwise the MRI itself takes about 30?? minutes. Something like that, or less. Gee and I've only had 8 of them, lol!
Glad you are getting the test...and hope it shows nothing.
hugs,
pattyz
