Magnetic Resonance Imaging

I had my MRI appointment today. I have seen them on TV before, but I didn’t realize it was so loud. Basically, I had to lie still for 20 minutes or so inside this big machine (my head was sticking out). Periodically it would make clicking sounds and very loud buzzing sounds. I guess that’s what the “resonance” part is all about. Fortunately they gave me a pair of ear plugs. I think I nearly fell asleep. Anyway, I’ll find out the results when I follow up with the doctor a week from Wednesday. The MRI image on the right is not from my knee, but rather from Brown University…
