Nah, no stress really, they can be a wee bit claustrophobic depending on the hardware and the patient but even my mum did OK and she gets claustrophobic if she wears a wide-brimmed hat It's totally non invasive, sort of like an x-ray but without the sterility. BUT! If you've got any steel implants in you, ie pins for broken bones, make sure they know! No messing. They should ask but, you never know. I got told over and over after I got mine to be careful of this, mine are surgical stainless but still MRI-Unsafe.

It's like being eaten by a really large, noisy polo mint.





No, really.







Honest. The machine look like a mahoosive polo.
It's noisy, but apart from that I found it really cool. Though I did get laughingly told off by the operator for making pinging noises and pretending I was a torpedo.

Yes, absolutely nothing to worry about.

You lie down, the thing spins round and makes some funny noises, thats about it.
