Damn claustrophobia sucks. Closing my eyes during the procedure helped, but overall it was an uncomfortable experience.

Now on to getting my chest xrays.

Yay preventative care.

We have a mirror mounted on top of our head coil, since we have people doing tasks in the scanner and they need to see the task projected on the screen at the end of the bore. If I go in without that mirror, which lets me look through the bore as if I were in a wide open space, I get really claustrophobic. With the mirror, however, it's easy breezing. I think they should always have a mirror in there for patients, even if it's unnecessary.

I'm in an experimental gene therapy program and this is one of the screening requirements.

That would be really helpful.

At least the tube had the two openings. Apparently some are fully enclosed?

Basically just live near a research hospital conducting an active study and meet the screening requirements. I was asked about it during a routine check up.

I've never seen a scanner like that, but I've only worked on 3 different scanners.

The big thing I've seen is that the tech has a lot to do with how comfortable the experience is for the patient. Some essentially just throw patients/subjects in there, while others do a lot of checking with the body position and comfort levels. A good tech means good data in my field.

Maybe. Or it could kill me. Or anything in between.

It's meant to treat a variety of genetic diseases by manipulating the dna so the body "corrects" itself and acts the way it is supposed to.
