Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

No you can have them done in regular clothes. You'll typically only wear a hospital gown if you're staying in the hospital beforehand.

I've had 2 MRIs and I wasn't staying in the hospital either time but I had to put on a gown both times.

It depends on the hospital. I've had MRIs done in my regular clothes (Tshirt and athletic shorts) and some at another hospital where I had to change into scrubs. Both places provided a locker for personal stuff like phone, wallet, keys, etc.

Probably depends on how far in you have to go. I had one just for my head to check out an issue with my ear, and I kept my regular clothes on.
