I had an MRI on my neck (pinched nerve) a few years ago. It is not for the claustrophobic. You must lie still in a closed tube for, in my case, 40 minutes. The wall of the tube was no more than a few inches from my face. You do have a panic button. The Valium helped considerably.

Other than that, it is painless and just a little noisy.

...and just a little noisy.

My father described it as like being in a garbage can with a hundred people beating on it.
