MRI Experience

I had an MRI of the brain with contrast on Monday 8/13/18.  First timer.  Checked in, waiting just a  couple of minutes, then was escorted to the dressing room to change into paper tops and bottoms.

The tube feels like sitting in the middle seat on a full economy flight overseas.

The noise at first sounded like the test of the emergency broadcasting system.  Following staccato sounding beeps resonating a pulsing shiatsu massage.  After more words of encouragement from the tech, she injected contrast dye to my right upper arm then back in the tube for a few more minutes.

The End. It was faster than I thought.
