My first MRI was some years ago at Winter Park Memorial Hospital. It was a fairly new tecnology at the time and what I remember most was the sound, a repititious BAAHNNG BAAHNNG BAAHNNG. There were other sounds as well but not as memorable. As a result of my recent biopsy pathology report I had a MRI scan today at the Al Ahli Hospital in Doha. The equipment is a very shiny, new looking Siemens MAGONET scanner. As a general rule I love German technology but the baby is LOUD and noisy. Of course the staff knows this and I was provided with a pair of headphones and music to make the experience tolerable. Now my only question is, "what is worse, a loud, noisy scanner or listening to ABBA on headphones for 50 minutes?"

Tough choice. I think music, any music, gets my vote. Well maybe not any music... A loud diagnostic tool that saves lives is music to my ears, maybe ABBA does come in second.
