I'm like you. Scared to death of the MRI but do CT scans all the time. Last time I had them take me down to see one. Where I go they have one that is larger on the inside than the other two. She told me to schedule for that machine. It looks like a big CT except that instead of going in and out you are inserted into it and it takes much longer. Wonder what happens if you have to cough half way through. Let me know how it goes and I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
Take care,
Eileen
