--------------049FD61F341EB9EFF4A20E59 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Debbie, My mother had a MRI (brain) done last week. The tests (4) lasted about 45 minutes where mom laid on a flat table with a pillow under her legs and she was covered by a blanket. It was an open MRI. The only problem, except the noise, was that she got very dizzy when she sat up after the test. The technician said some people get dizzy. She also gave several vials of blood about 2 hours earlier. You might want to look at http://www.drkoop.com/ there is a section on tests and they cover MRIs.
