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   there is a section on
tests and they cover MRIs.
