Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is an all-in-one non-invasive technique that can be used also in early cancer diagnosis in asymptomatic individuals. The aim of this work was to identify the personal characteristics predicting the satisfaction for the WB-MRI in a sample of healthy subjects. Before undergoing a WB-MRI examination, 154 participants completed a questionnaire covering sociodemographics (age, gender, education), personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, extroversion, openness), and expectations about the procedure (expected usefulness, risks, noise, lack of air, duration). After the examination, participants reported their satisfaction with the WB-MRI. Results showed that agreeableness had a significant and positive effect on satisfaction. Expectations about its utility and the possible noise had a positive effect on satisfaction. Expectations of lack of air showed a negative significant effect on satisfaction. Sociodemographics showed no significant effects. Our study confirmed the important impact of individuals' personality and expectations on satisfaction with the procedure. Moreover, it provides useful insights for developing consultations aimed at increasing the acceptability of the procedure.
全身磁共振成像（WB-MRI）是一种一体化的非侵入性技术，也可用于无症状个体的早期癌症诊断。这项研究的目的是在健康受试者样本中确定预测对WB-MRI满意度的个人特征。在接受WB-MRI检查之前，154名参与者完成了一份问卷，内容涵盖社会人口统计学信息（年龄、性别、教育程度）、人格特质（宜人性、尽责性、情绪稳定性、外向性、开放性）以及对该检查的期望（预期有用性、风险、噪音、空气不足、时长）。检查后，参与者报告了他们对WB-MRI的满意度。结果显示，宜人性对满意度有显著的积极影响。对其效用和可能的噪音的期望对满意度有积极影响。对空气不足的期望对满意度有显著的负面影响。社会人口统计学信息没有显著影响。我们的研究证实了个体的人格和期望对该检查满意度的重要影响。此外，它为开展旨在提高该检查可接受性的咨询提供了有用的见解。
