@moshimonsters902 yes a lot of noise and the noise is super annoying, but they usually give u head phones to make the noise a little less noisy,

@envy71383 thx!

@MrAlexdive usually takes about 20 minutes... depends on if you are getting contrast or not. The scanner should not cause any dizziness, but people do tend to get up feeling dizzy from laying down for that amount of time.

@musiccrazy10021 I have just had one - full spine, there is nothing to be scared of just try and stay calm. You have a buzzer if you want them to stop.
