Alright been years since I have had an mri done, mainly cause have PTSD and get worked up around doctors or any medical people.
The Doctor that treats my ms finally conviced me to try to get an OPEN MRI done so he can confirm some things and keep my info up to date. Haven't had a major releapse in a few years and he wants to see what is going and see if there is any need to adjustment treatment you know normal things, probbly checking for over all brain shrinkage too given there was a little last time if I recall right very minor though.
So my question is are open mris make less noise and how long are scans typical for brain and cervical spin(Both with and without contrast.) I have problems laying still for extend points in time due to bad back spasms and my reaction to muscle relaxes sorta makes taking them when I have to be still for awhile not a good idea, cause end up having to go to the bathroom a few times after taking them...yea they overwork on me when they do work.
So kinda curious what is different with a open MRI over a regular MRI. I will be getting it done over at Hillcrest cleveland clinic this week if I don't end up having a anxity attack, though I will be given something before hand just hit or miss with the pills and such.
Sorry for any typos and errors, and thanks for your time.
