What's a Cold?
A cold is when you sneeze, cough, and feel yucky. It's very common and nothing to worry about!
Can having a cold change your MRI results? Let’s find out!
Good news! Having a cold doesn’t really change your MRI pictures.
MRI looks at your body's structure. A cold affects your nose and throat, not the parts MRI usually looks at.
If you're sniffly or coughing, the MRI machine can still take clear pictures.
The most important thing during an MRI is to stay very still, even if you have a cold.
Tell the doctor if you feel too sick. They want you to be comfortable!
If you need to sneeze during the MRI, try to hold it, or let the doctor know!
So, having a cold is okay! It won't mess up your MRI. Feel better soon!
