I've been through my share of MRI's and Xrays. Each time I was given a gown or disposable shorts to wear. And yes, the diaper and amount of wetness does show on an mri. On xrays you can just make out the diaper and tapes, but no wetness.
Its like that around where I live too. They're pretty lax on the whole "you have to wear our gowns" thing. I've gone in for x-rays and scans and a whole bunch of stuff and sometimes they just look at me and say "take your necklace off and you should be fine" and don't have me change at all. Other times they ask me if the clothes I have on have things that it can't for that particular scan and they'll just have me remove that item, give me a plastic bag for my stuff, and put the rest of my clothes back on without needing to have a gown. When I get my chest x-rays they still let me wear my t-shirt and my jeans even though the jeans have have metal buttons and other tiny metal things. I don't even see gowns in the dressing area. They do have them though and you can have one if you ask. And they will give you one if the majority of your clothing can't be worn, but it seems like they do their best to keep you in your own clothes.Rob110 said:I surprised the hospital did not give you a gown for the MRI even if its just the technician and your self in the room never mind having to cross a hall. the odds are this is not the only time you will be seen in a diaper out in public especially at a hospital.
