If the table was vibrating during my MRI scan, would that affect the results?
(0 answers)
I have had at least 4 MRI's of the brain over the years and have never felt the "table" vibrate during the procedure. During a recent MRI, the table did just that. At one point the MRI tech told me to lay steady, which is what I was doing. Why would the table vibrate during the scan? Could the shaking affect my results?
