Kathi...I wish we had a standup MRI..The tube/tables do not go with my back very well...and with plugged ears the noise is ridiculous. I visualize a jack hammer with two men on the street. Then a 'CHOO Choo,choo choo.'. I have had enough X-rays,scans, ultra-sound,and Mri's to make me radioactive.I had several test like the PET...and nuclear medicine tests where they actually put radioactive material in the bloodstream. I wish I would not have another test. Wishful thinking ,probably. Stella
