how long does this take
feeling anxiously
About 40 minutes
I never had an MRI with the mask, just a planning CT which took ten minutes.
You can ask your GP for some sedation which might help if you are anxious.

how long does this take
PS
It takes a the same time with or without a mask. How long did your diagnostic one take? That would be a guideline
