The first thing you do when you get to the hospital is check in. They make
sure that you have no metal items. The metal items will be a problem with the
magnet machine. Then you sit in the waiting room until they call you. After
they call you, you go into the room where the MRI machine is and you lie
down on the table. Then the table moves up into the little tube, and you just
lie there for about 45 minutes while they take pictures of your insides.
You may want to use head sets or ear plugs because the MRI can be loud.
