Hi Lori,
I am glad you are getting an MRI and I wish you the very best results.
I had my first brain MRI last week and it was exactly like StephN described. Mine was a little shorter in duration: 14 minutes for the scans without contrast. Then they injected me with a contrast through a vein and scanned me for about 2 more minutes. This is much easier to cope with than a cat scan when you have to drink barium. I am not claustrophobic, I just closed my eyes. Maybe you can take something to relax if you need it. You will need the ear plugs. They also wrapped a towel over my ears.
I could hear the technician as she occasionally asked me how I was doing and she could hear me.
The metalic contrast they inject in you does leave your urine smelling odd. Sorry to get so personal. Drink lots of water that day.
