First I did an MRI at the hospital and it doesn't have an open end (all closed) and towards the end of procedure I freaked out. But after that I did many open bore MRIs (thanks to Jinxicat9 for technical term) (1.5 T magnet - heard 3T is better but can't find one) . Doctor prescribed 0.5 mg Xanax but I took only .25 mg and it sure helped a lot to relax. But open bore MRIs as Jinxicat9 mentioned doesn't give me the intense claustrophobic feeling.

Staying still is a must or they have to go over some procedures again to get a clear picture.

Jinxicat9 : I also had brain contusions in temporal and frontal lobes. You mentioned going natural way helps. If you don't mind can you tell us where did you had the lesions and what symptoms you struggled/struggling and what natural ways helped you?

Thx.
