MRI
scanners use large electromagnets some of
which are rapidly switched on and off during the
scan procedure. Although these magnets are not visible,
the sound they make can be fairly loud.
The
sounds made by the scanner vary in volume and
tone with the type of procedure being performed.
We have collected together a small range of scan noises for
you to audition now!
To listen to our scan sound jukebox, click
on the buttons below. Each button
will play a different MRI scan sound. Press the red
button to stop the sounds. (requires Microsoft Internet Explorer)
