HP.....I think I am at a pro at the CAT scan's and MRI's. My daughter with her being sick and all has had many of them. A MRI she was put into a machine. I guess it wasn't even considered an open MRI. BNut not scary at all. It was kind of a tube. But both ends were completely open. I was right in the room with her and could talk to her and see her. Her legs were out of the machine completely cause I was rubbing her legs as I was talking to her. It also wasn't very closed around her. She had to lay still but could have looked up at me if she really wanted to.

The CAT scan machine looked like a giant donut. They slid her head part to the center of the giant donut and snapped their pictures. This only took about 5 minutes.

I hope all goes well. What was the area they seen that they were concerned about? Was there an irritated or red part? I know my husband had a questionable spot and they did a boposy but all came back well. They said it was just an irritated spot way up in his colon.
