I have to get a MRI on my knee next week and this isn't my friend MRI so let my tell a story of what happen last time.
I had to get one on my back and it was a open on and i got really nervous. I could finsh it and when they got me out of there i was scared chitless, i was like a ghost and couldent stop shaking.
So now im kinda scared. Has anyone got a MRI of their knee before on there? How long does it take and on the open one how far is your body under the machine.
Thanks a whole bunch.

I had one several years ago on a knee in an open MRI machine.
I was about up to middle of my stomach. You have to hold still for each image for about ten minutes or so. The closed machine are quicker however, they are limited on what sizeof person can hold.
