I'm going for an MRI

[tru3f4n]

I think people get this confused with cat scans and x-rays and every other thing

My asumption is I get into a tube and a computer takes pictures of inside my body without any dye or extra thing needed

It's a loud tube with a movable bed thing that slides in and out and you feel different pulses.

 

[Clippy]

they do, for blood vessel related imaging or heart. they shouldnt for a spine.

I think they're doing my whole back ass nerves and all looking for problems

 

[ralphc1]

I'm going to have two assholes by the time all is said and done

Is @John Wang going to be there?

This is the most terrifying thing I've heard yet

I know I need one to check out my knee.
But I like to ignore things.

IS THAT HOW THAT WORKS !!?!?!?

And I can't just shit on command what kind of powers do you think I have?

I'm not one of the characters from the new X-men movie where they're grabbing bottom of the barrell X-mens

 

[Darbo]

I had one a few years ago on my arm, the lady running the thing asked me if I wanted some music on to distract me because I'm mildly claustrophobic, fucking pointless, that thing makes so much noise you'll think it's broken.
Also had the contrast dye earlier this year for a ct scan, burning ballbag syndrome isn't fun.

Keep your head pointed back if you have claustrophobia

yep, probably they are gonna get something like this in different contrasts...

Reminded of the Sopranos...



Good luck @Clippy.

Never heard of dye for an MRI. Do they have a magnetic dye? I've had dye in a CT scan.

Contrast dye with an MRI is fairly common. I've had it done twice with contrast, once on my leg and once on my shoulder.

It sounded like a diesel engine running.

Get a Taco Bell burrito, it will clean you out quickly.

 

[ralphc1]

I just remember I swallowed a dime when I was 6 and never shit it out ...

Is there some kind of pre-screaning with a metal detector before I go in ???

If they've taken xrays it would have shown up.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

Don't worry Clippy. Look my MRI turned out fine.

 

[sleepwalk]

I'm a fidgeter so I was worried that I'd mess it up and inconvenience the techs repeatedly for nothing.

I did fine and found out that is been bench pressing teh 275 with a torn labrum for 20 years.

If that is a T1 sequence, then coronal view looks like someone who is thin-fat.
