Is claustrophobia a big factor?
Most people do fine. If there is a patient who suffers from claustrophobia, we have many benefits at DMOS to help you overcome the fear and anxiety. We have headphones that allow you to listen to your favorite radio station or CD. Our room is a large, well-lit room with lots of windows, and our scanner has a large bore/opening, all of which help alleviate that cramped “closed in” feeling. Patients are welcome to visit the MRI Imaging Center at DMOS to view the scanner and room prior to scheduling an appointment. This might help improve your comfort level.
