Hello,

I recently had an MRI of my cervical spine at Pinderfields Hospital, I had read online that these usually take about 30-40 minutes, and I admitted to the radiologist that I was quite nervous. Just before I went in I asked how long it would be and they said just 7 minutes! The scan was actually not as bad as I was expecting, and now I've come away I'm really worried that they gave me a shorter scan because I was nervous! Like a quick wash on a washing machine? OK I was worried but didn't want them to do a lesser scan because of it...

Does anyone know how long such a scan would usually take, and if I could have been short changed? Is there such a thing as an MRI 'quick wash'?

Was worrying before the scan, now I'm worrying they didn't do it for long enough!!

Thanks for any thoughts.......
