Am I going to need a contrast agent for a brain MRI? It sounds terrifying and I have a major fear of needles. Especially because I've never had Novocaine before but I've heard it hurts very badly. Idk if I can handle that šµāš«

An MRI with contrast does involve an injection, typically of a substance like IV Iodine. If you have a fear of needles, it may be helpful to prepare for this aspect of the procedure. However, it's important to note that not all MRIs require contrast, and your doctor will determine if it's necessary based on what they are looking to investigate.
