jennlkI really hate that machine. If I never have to have another upper body MRI, that will be fine by me.
Here, let's shove you into this tube that's not much bigger than you are. The "ceiling" is 6 inches from your nose, you can't move without touching a wall or messing up a scan. We'll slide you out when we're done, in about 25 minutes. Oh, here's your earplugs so you don't lose your hearing.
This one (at Chelsea Hospital) is one of those semi-trailer mounted MRIs, so the tube is smaller than it is at a hospital. However, it's only 10 minutes from the house, and you can get an appointment in 3 days. These are Good Things.
I do think that if I'd had to have a shoulder MRI, with the harness, I'd probably have gone into A^2, as I don't think the tube on this little machine is big enough. I'll have to ask my trainer where he went for his....
