A Sneak Peak of the MRI


One of the snaps taken of my left knee..
taken from the NMC Radiology Unit @ Deira.

Its a nice output to see for myself, after being strapped and pushed inside one of those gigantic Philips scanning machines humming at 50 decibels.. and put through 1.25 hours of intense boredom and a equally severe urge to move a muscle, lift the leg or simply scratch my backside to stop the itching. Why was that a problem? I was warned "Dont move a muscle. Even if you move an eyelid, the scan time goes up by 10 minutes". Now thats called Negative Reinforcement.
