Is there any effect of MRI gasping for air

MRI is easy to affect the results if you keep breathing heavily. MRI exams take longer, usually more than 30 minutes. Depending on the part of the patient being examined, it is usually necessary for the doctor to exercise the patient’s breathing before the examination, for example, to cooperate with the doctor in exhalation and breath-holding, which can easily produce motion artifacts and affect the diagnostic results if the cooperation is not good. MRI requires the use of a cardiac gating device during the examination, with gated monitoring to collect images at a certain moment of cardiac gating, that is, under the conditions of the same breathing phase, so as to facilitate the diagnosis of the patient’s condition, so if the patient cannot cooperate with breathing, it is best to exercise breathing before conducting this examination.
