They played a radio station of my choice when I had one recently. I found it helped to ask one of the nurses to let me know when the procedure was halfway through.

The macine gets very noisy, lots of banging and clattering!

When I had an MRI scan I just closed my eyes - think they played me music - a nurse asked me a few times was I OK - which I was - and I think I had a little doze! Worry not.

I am having an MRI scan on Friday for problems with my back. My SIL has recommended that I ask the doctor for a tranquillizer. What do people think? I'd be interested to hear of experiences with or without tranquillizers. Also, a friend told me that she was told she could bring a CD to play during the procedure. They haven't mentioned this in my letter. Would this help?
