My MRI experience is limited to the full body procedure for a disc and arthritis problem in my back. I just closed my eyes and went to sleep. I don’t recall them asking any claustrophobia questions, offering a panic button, or turning on a radio. Just me and the great big magnet. Of course, I could probably sleep through a nuclear event.
