Just been in for one. Sounds a lot like laying on a bed, listening to Pink Floyd, while the World Road Digging Championships take place next door. And the participants break every couple of minutes to have a laser gun fight.

Yep. It's surprisingly noisy. In fact they even gave me headphones because of the racket the machine made.

I should add that I wasn't having a scan myself, but in the same room as 'wifey' who was more than a little nervous.

I hope that your scan turns out well.

I found it somewhat uncomfortable, due to confined space, made worse by the noises. I guess that's why they suggest bringing some tunes in with you.

Hope that yours turns out to be as good news as mine was, fingers crossed

Despite the racket, it appeared to be a fairly modern machine - not a full length tube like I was expecting (and looking forward to having a gentle snooze in) - and she ran through a list of albums from which to choose, which was nice.

Every year or so I have a dual contrast MRI which is the daddy of all MRIs.  I hate it because as well the blood nd ingested contrasts they also give me muscle relaxants to relax the bowel (thankfully not so much that the enevitable hppens) but a side effect is that my vision is heavily blurred for several hours.  After having been starved for 24 hours prior to the procedure I am always reliant on somebody else to walk me to the cafe and read me the menu.

Fell asleep in mine.

Those awsome drones in Oblivion remind me of the noise in an MRI scan.

I only saw that for the first time in the last week. Great effects, but a little too predictable and shallow plotlines for me...

There always going to bang when your turning a bloody great big magnetic coil on and off like that lol.

Still, it gets your body 'back into alignment' (all be it for a fraction of a second!)

Indeed. An absolutely brilliant bit of kit, even if it did have too many buttons and too few visible cogs for my liking.

Felt very claustrophobic when i had mine and the noise was frightening  Ill keep my socks on for the next one   

Hope all turns out ok

Nothing to worry about, the magnet is only making the hydrogen atoms in all your cells in the line of magnetism align for a brief moment before them being released where they take time to return to thier normal positions and give off specific frequencies at specific intervals for certain durations which the machine detects to produce the image......then repeat many times!

[Gaffers]

You mean, an MRI scanner plays with my hydrogen atoms without me knowing?





I feel violated........

Not again?

Effects are all. Stuff the story. I don't need 1080p and 5.1 for a story line. Just play it loud, ok?


(Although an engaging story line does help. A bit )
