MRI explained: How does it work?

It's not the noise for me it's how confined you are, i am very claustrophobic. I have to wear an eye mask and just try and block everything out.

MRI exam is fascinating but takes longer time than just x-rays. My first experience with the noise wasn't pleasant. But if the examiner places the earpads well like my subsequent experiences, it's cool. The technology is fascinating and discovery gave a big leap to medical diagnosis especially as the process is noninvasive.

"it's not dangerous" to be surrounded by liquid helium that is -450*F and will turn you into a popsicle in a nanosecond. Not to mention that any magnetic metal inside you will get ripped out like a hot knife through butter. LOL. I think I prefer old-fashioned X-Rays.

Great video Siemens, hope y'all catch up to Canon and GE someday

Went thru one today. Interesting noises. Very comfortable.

Lol just came back from my MRI and thought I need to find out how this thing works much like all of you

In an hour i got mine…😂

man i love mri, the sounds and the cold 😍

Quick question: can I make an MRI exam with metal implant at the mandible (lower jaw) area that is ferromagnetic? If so, to protect that area, what is the name of protection item? Note: the exam area is not in that area but rather from head down...

Thank you siemens

Took my baby daughter to a MRI scan yesterday. I was fascinated to see such a large machine and wanted to know more about it and how it functions.

I had my first MRI about 2 years ago, to get a look at a damaged hip. The doc asked when I saw him the next time what I had thought of it. I told, 'the sound effects alone were worth the trip!' It was fascinating how it all worked.

I have an Mri one week from now, for my wrist I’m anxious to see how it goes I’ve never been inside any tube for that matter

I can't even read the text it skips so fast stupid Siemens Healthineers.

It was so loud and scary but i just started to sing in my head High School Musical songs to stay calm.

Wow crazy engineering! Listening to the magnetic resonance of all those small hydrogen atoms must be one hell of a job to compute into a picture. Also quite strange that it's nice and comfy in the machine while being surrounded by almost absolute zero degree liquid 😮😅

Anyone can tell me I am on a decision to take MRI or now did it effect you after mri

Great Video
Great Informations 🔴🌱❤💙

People watching this. My brother had once and mom had twice and nothing identified. Stay calm and trust the Lord❣️

getting my first MRI tomorrow morning, I’ve had multiple CT scans and x-rays done but this is will be my first. I’m aware it’s going to be loud but hopefully the earplugs work

I wonder how they even got that thing in the building

I just got out of having my MRI and this is so fascinating
The machine was also the one made by y'all
It's a very nice looking machine

I am to do a MRI scan for my lumbar spine. After watching this video I am a little concerned, because I have horrible migraines that are sometimes triggered by sound and light. 😔

I (14) am having 2 MRI's this month! Excited!!

Literally just back from an MRI and was fascinated by the experience.
For anyone having it done, try to distract yourself by visualising or thinking of something you really enjoy. For me, with the head piece on, it reminded me of the halo from a Formula 1 car so I just visualised driving Silverstone circuit 🤣

I should have watched that before i went into the tube, just saying.

literally the only thing I hate during my once a year routine to the hospital , watching this after an MRI I understand why they don't allow metals inside , also some of the sounds are so loud that the headphones they give you are useless , I was feeling the vibrations of the magnets in my teeth it was horrible

I still don't get how the imaging actually works and happens.. I feel so dumb watching this lol

The paper didn't tell me about that chest plate. I was allowed to do mine without it (bc the unmentioned face cage for my brain was trouble enough), but it would've probably blocked the unbareable knocking vibrations through my unmonitored tachy heart. I believe that combo IS dangerous. Imagine putting a hard knocking vibrating tool up to your arythmic heart for an hr (which the hospital knows from past vitals and ekgs). It's not just a sound, sounds are vibration. Especially if you're there for a neurological referral (I don't think they could see that my scolded movement was spasms and not voluntary). That and the cold triggered shaking which scared them when they pulled me out.

These kinds need some protocols for certain conditions. I believe they should be able to see and hear you inside, and let you know so. A pull out between two scans must be used to not surpass 20 mins caged at a time. If vibration pausing whilst in is able, do so based on heart and breathing activity. Do a 1minute inserted comfort test for the patient to find their comfort position and determine whether they want their eyes open or closed, pull out sit up one last time, then begin. Sitting up also helps me under dental anestheic.

After 10 years of treatment l recently realized my neurologist only ordered one MRI scan of my thoracic spinal cord. I have MS and l think this is not good! If there are lesions on the brain and cervical spinal cord….

To me, it was like being at a robot rock concert where they played varying notes. Except that one robot, he played the same note over and over! The noise is not too terrible; the holding still is. Just close your eyes and breathe. In 25-ish minutes, you're done!

-269😀

Just came back from an MRI totally amazed by the experience, the level of technology and infrastructure it involves. As an electronic engineer I find this machine fascinating!!

We can hear the higher magnetic fields at close quarters. Very interesting observation.

Your MRI machines sound like electronic dance music

Excellent job ✌️💙

Great video - thanks.

I thought the magnets were spinning?

How much hearing loss is involved as a result of a typical MRI scan. Muffling the noise with headphones probably does not help much.

To the people watching this before an MRI: it's alot louder than you think and none of the noises have a pattern

Watching this while in the waiting room for an MRI lol

Quick edit: Thank you all for the support and asking into my situation. I’m feeling a lot better and after my second operation. It’s going good. I have not had any symptoms since the operation about 10 days ago and should be the last one. Love you all!

Great video

Nice video!!

Why the radio waves are not introduced in the video which also plays crucial role while imaging process?

something so small has a bigger magnetic field than its home planet

So MRI machines no longer rotate?🤔

I didn’t actually get it 😢
