Latest MRI scanner images

Years ago I worked for a research lab at Nottingham University and volunteered to be scanned a few times, just for testing and research. Their MRI scanner was the most powerful in Europe at that time, as I recall. Must admit I didn't like that feeling of being slid into a tight space the first time, but I closed my eyes, listened to the music and actually I came to find it very calming eventually.

I've had quite a few MRIs in my time (probably got another one coming up soon). For me, the 'worst' part is just getting comfortably settled - but once it all fires up then, like you, I just chill out and relax. I think I even hum along under my breath, making up a tune in my mind, to the buzzes and bangs.

I have had a few MRIs, including a 50 minute one this week. I don’t get claustrophobic as such, but I am not a fan of the noise - even with earplugs and ear defenders I still find it very loud. I wonder if this new instrument is any quieter, or maybe it is even noisier as it is more powerful?
