Is a 3 minute MRI scan of lungs for COPD too short?

Is a 3 minute MRI scan of lungs for COPD too short?
I expected to have to take a dye and spend 20-40 minutes being scanned.

Your physician would know best. If they suspected COPD and the standard test was what you mentioned, I think that's what they would do. You could always ask if you're concerned, though.

My mum had a CT scan. Have they done any other tests like spirometry test?
