[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son had an MRI when he was 5.  We scheduled it for 6 AM at the place near 7777 Leesburg Pike in Falls Church.

I talked him through it over and over for a few days beforehand.

My son had a great time.  He knew it would be loud.  He knew it would be partly enclosed.  He knew he’d have to hold still.

Afterwards, everything was MRI-this and MRI-that.

When we got the results, I went through them with him and pointed out what each bone and muscle was.

It was a great experience.  Last month, he learned about fMRIs and wants one done now.

That's awesome! Glad he had such a great time with it, given it's not the most fun thing in the world.

I talked about the EEG a few times, and kiddo thinks it's cool to get a "brain scan" - I've already talked about an MRI and how Dad studied them in college as part of his engineering degree.

But haven't talked much more about it than that.[/quote]

Children’s tells them it’s like a spaceship and makes the whole theme out of it.  It’s cute and helpful![/quote]
