MRI scans are one of the safest medical procedures available yet some patients dread the experience. Here are Medmo's top tips for how to stay calm and get through your MRI.

1. Talk to your technician. Understanding the experience before it happens helps a lot of patients with nerves and creates trust between you and someone who will be there during the scan.

2. Bring a friend. Unlike some other diagnostic imaging machines, MRI scanners don’t require radiation to work. Without radiation, a friend can often remain with you throughout the scan but it's best to confirm this with your imaging center.

3. Pick your music. Most MRIs can play music through headphones you wear in the scanner. In most cases, you can bring your own CD or music device to play the music you like.

4. Practice meditating. Depending on the body part, a MRI can take between 15 to 90 minutes. Meditation and breathing exercises are a great way to calm yourself down.

5. Let your mind wander. If meditating doesn't work for you, it may help to imagine yourself being somewhere else.
