Well I certainly do on all levels,....being
highly claustrophobic I have till now walked out, jumped out, screamed out, bailed out,
ran out, of at least 6 different types of MRI imaging machines including the dreaded TUNNEL, Big Bore Tunnel, Open sandwich, etc,etc,....no way I am going anywhere near or inside one of these mid evil coffin like torture devices in any way shape or form!!!
Until yesterday when someone recommenced to me an
UPRIGHT OPEN STAND UP MRI only a short 50 min drive away,I walked in after reading online reviews, and talking with them on the phone and I was assured I would be sitting down with all open top & bottom and a giant flat screen TV to watch thruout the 30 min procedure...I must say it was the
Best experience of my life and highly recommend you search out this form of MRI before being subjected to any other type seriously...painless, unclaustrophobic, the tech talked with me from her glassed in room on mic watching me the whole time telling me what to expect on every 3,4,5 min imaging session thru the 30 min test,....
I will only go here from now on if ever needed again.
I even gave her a BIG Hug when I left thanking her!!
....here is a picture of what it was like...take care..
