Wanna join me for a CT scan today?

Don't all jump at once😄

I know they are about ten minutes, vs. 40 for MRI. YAY!! BUT I can't recall, is it more open too? I remember feeling so anxious in an MRI tube, with this loud humming over it, ughh! I think the CT scan machine has a bit more space and area around you as you lay on the slider?

When was the last time you read about something awful happening to anyone during an MRI or a CT scan?

Never, right?

Relax, C 🤗

@rinkydinkydoink When I had an MRI years ago, I got SO tense, from the loud humming over me ( with PTSD I Feel someone is going to come upon me if I can't hear or see well) I could barely walk when it was done😢 the pains were so bad on my whole body from tensing up for 30 minutes. I just hope there's more area around you on a CT machine

@Coralmist

I'm sorry for making it sound like it was not a big deal.

I - and everyone here - hopes you sail through your scan, Coral.
