Just FYI . . . lots of places now have open MRI devices, so you aren't enclosed. Ask around and see if there is one available on your insurance plan. Don't feel like you are asking for a favor or any special treatment (no pun intended), because if you're fidgety inside, you may have to do it over, and neither the techs nor the insurers want that.
True that's a good call. Is there something similar for CT?
Yep, and it's even less confining. It's a giant donut that slides along a hard flat bed that you lay on, and you aren't ever completely enclosed. It's not comfortable, not by a long shot, but it doesn't put you inside a tube.
I would be more scared of what the potential issue is rather that the diagnostic tool. It's just like flying honey close your eyes and once your in the air it's smooth sailing. It can't hurt you.
What should scare you is doctors not figuring out what issue you have
That too. The machines themselves are still scary though.
