What should we pay attention to when doing MRI?

summary

MRI has become more and more commonly used in hospitals, but doctors often forget to remind patients of many precautions. Here are a few things you should know before you have an MRI.

What should we pay attention to when doing MRI?

First: remove all the ornaments. In the process of inspection, the strong magnetic field will absorb all metal objects and may cause you injury. So remember to take off all the jewelry, including the navel and feet.

Second: don't make up. Some cosmetics contain metals, which react with magnetic fields. So don't wear makeup on the day of examination, including nail polish, antiperspirant, sunscreen and so on. It is better not to use hair care products.

Third: you may feel anxious. Some people may feel fear or anxiety during the examination, similar to claustrophobia. So it's best to close your eyes before entering the machine, and don't open them during the whole process. You might as well imagine some interesting things, or people or pets you like. Some people need to take anti anxiety drugs.

The standard procedure is only about 15 minutes, but it can be extended to an hour. So you might as well have something to eat before the examination, and be sure to go to the bathroom.
