Hi. I've had three MRIs of my brain, and I didn't find it to be too big a deal. It's kind of small in there, but not smothering. I fell asleep one of the three times (despite the loud noise that the machine makes). It takes around 45 minutes, and you can talk to the MRI technician if you need help (like if you start panicking or something). Some people need to take benzodiazepines before having a brain MRI. If you're worried, you might ask your doctor for a small amount of Xanax to take before the MRI.

BTW, I don't recall being strapped down, although you aren't supposed to move around.
