what does it sound like if you are getting an MRI scan of your brain?


Answers:
It is a rapid clicking sound. MRIs are really easy on patients!
Like you are dumb.
It will not hurt you will have some ear plugs you will hear a clicking sound
It's pretty noisy. Goes something like this.
"purdy purdy purdy diiiieeee diiieeee diiieeeee bang bang bang bang bang"
It is a quick and painless procedure requested to find out what is happening in your brain, check out any signs of trauma, injuries, changes etc. for either purpose (Physiological/mental)
It is very loud. There is a lot of knocking sounds. I had a brain tumor 6 years ago and have a MRI every year
I HAD TWO, ITS LIKE A HAMMER POUNDING ON METAL SOME OF THE TIME, THEN CLICKING, IF YOU ARE CLAUSTROPHOBIC YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE THE PILL THEY OFFER YOU, ALL IN ALL THEY AREN'T BAD.
They put ear plugs in and foam pads over your ears, you just hear some light banging noises and the tech will talk you through it. I almost fell asleep!
actually th MRI scanning process is sound-free (magnetic fields, what do you expect? :-) )the sounds come from various moving parts within the machine. sounds scary but doesn't hurt you one wee bit
They'll give you earplugs to put in your ears. After that, you'll hear something like a hammer hitting metal or a jackhammer. The technician is usually talking to you throughout the whole process. I recommend closing your eyes if you're claustrophobic =)
Clack, clack clack, clack, clack clack,clack,clack, for long period of times, it is very uncomfortable, but it is very helpful to find out a lot of things.
