I thought I had to remain still for the entire 45 minutes that I was in the machine, so it is great news to hear that there are breaks after every 2-3 minutes. How much can you move around during the brief breaks? What if I needed to sit up at some point - would they pull me out during a break or is that only a last resort? Is your head elevated at all in the machine? I sleep on three pillows at night or I have trouble breathing (mostly sinus related), so laying with my head flat on the table for very long could be a problem.
If I'm only having an MRI of my head, will everything from my shoulders down remain outside of the machine? And finally.... are they going to make me wear one of those damn hospital gowns?!!! ;-)
