مستخلص: The article focuses on the preparations by patients who undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to relieve anxiety. MRI uses powerful magnets, radio waves and computer technology to provide detailed views of diseased or damage tissue, but it would not expose the patient to radiation. Patients are advised to remove all jewelry and tell the technologist about implants, health aids and tattoos to avoid interference during the process. Steps to make MRI experience less stressful are explored.
