This might help you :
Tesla MRI system that allows patients to receive a high-field, high quality MRI scan while seated in a comfortable reclining chair, thus eliminating the anxiety frequently associated with high field MR imaging. The average scan time (20 -30 minutes) is much less than is typically associated with lower-field open systems. A key factor of importance when comparing our high-field MRI to low field MRI, relates to the ability to obtain greater resolution in a shorter period of time on high field systems.

I have had numeral MRI's done and it really depends on the area and what exactly they are trying to get a picture of and how well you do on sitting still. its different for everyone

I have had a few. Depending on what you are getting scanned and if you are getting an injection of dye, they can last up to an hour. Lots of noise too!

I had a full body done and it took about 1/2 hour... When they just did my knee it took less then 10 min.
