Mri machine seemed to malfunction in that it vigorously shook, tossing me side to side and banging my right elbow painfully on the inside of the machine.Buzzer sounded.Mri machine stopped briefly and then continued and finished the procedure.In a few hours my face became very red and painful.Called the facility twice the next morning and never received a return call.Visited my family physician on the day following the mri and like me, thought i may have had a reaction to the contrast dye.Was put on medication and again seen by my family dr on (b)(6).Dr and i both had done research on risks with mri's.My family dr stated that i indeed had received a burned face and i was put on further medication and a return in two weeks.My face was painful, red and with an open draining spot on my chin and some peeling skin.I have sent a letter to the mri facility and the affiliated hosp and my neurologist who had ordered the mri.I am a ms and diabetic pt.(b)(6) is the affiliated hosp, university medical (b)(6) is the location where the mri was done, and my neurologist is dr (b)(6), dept of neurology, (b)(6).Burn to face from mri.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
