It is not medical resonace imaging!

No, it's magnetic resonance imaging, hence the concern about metal inside the body.

Thank you to those who have pointed out my typo. It is of course "magnetic", which I meant to put. Must have had a senior moment.

The first one I had, back in the 1990s in a travelling one, was horrible because I was sealed in a sort of cigar tube and I'm a bit claustrophobic.
However, be of good cheer, it's nothing like that nowadays. I had 2 in France and they were perfectly pleasant, no problem at all - tube open both ends and plenty of headroom.
I've had a full body MRI since returning to the UK (MRI about 5 yrs ago) and it was a bit in-between. My face was much closer to the machine's surface and so it was much more claustrophobic (only a couple of inches between my nose and it). The removal of a pillow rendered it much more tolerable.
It's nothing to be worried about. I won't worry if I have to have another.
