it would be too risky to put you under anesthesia for an mri. you would need to have an anesthesiologist present and be monitored. talk to the radiologist and maybe a stronger dose of xanax or different sedative can be given.
can they put you to sleep mri. i'm highly claustrophobic and need an mri of the spine. i don't think i can do it. taking xanax would not help. i've tried it.
