Abstract
This study assessed anxiety reactions in 40 adults outpatients undergoing MRI. Ninety-five percent of the patients completed the procedure although 37% reported moderate to severe anxiety. It is concluded that (a) anxiety in patients undergoing MRI is a multifaceted phenomenon involving fear of enclosed places (claustrophobia), pain, the unknown, as well as apprehension about what the test might reveal, and (b) the best way to avoid traumatizing the patient is to assess these variables in advance of the procedure. Methods to reduce anxiety can then be tailored to the needs of the patient.

There was no long-term follow up.
2 of 40 (5%) became too anxious to complete the scan.

FSS was administered, but the only reported result was correlation with a custom composite index of anxiety (basically the state portion of STAI, plus two MRI-specific questions).

Pre-scan, STAI mean = 38.79; Post-scan, STAI mean = 33.31.
Confidence/calmness rating (1-10, 1=very calm, 10=not at all, very nervous)
Pre-scan mean = 3.75 SD=3.14
(37% scored 5 or higher on pre-scan.)
Post-scan mean = 2.03
The post-scan confidence rating question was actually prospective, not retrospective. i.e. "How confident are you that you would remain calm if you had to undergo the same MRI again?" p. 132
