All three choices are patient precautions that need to be taken during MR scanning. Claustrophobia may cause anxiety in patients and lead to the need for sedation or conscious sedation, so patients should be informed about the nature of the examination and the experience of being in the MRI scanner. Patients must not touch the inside of the MRI gantry or bring any ferromagnetic implants/prosthetic devices into the MRI room because the strong magnetic field may cause displacement or damage to these objects, leading to serious harm to the patient or interference with the images. Therefore, all three options are essential patient precautions.
