What is an MRI of the neck like?

Answer by  wishfire (119)

It can be a bit uncomfortable! When getting an MRI in the head or neck area, they generally will place you in a brace to keep you still. Finding an open air MRI will help you not feel claustrophobic. They're also a bit lengthy in duration.

An MRI is absolutely painless but can be loud, they will probably give you earplugs to wear. All you have to do is remove all metal and they lay absolutely still while the machine runs. This can be really quick. The machine is a very tight fit.
