Could my scan have been different?

Posted By TMarsh

"Could my scan have been different?"

About: Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary / Ophthalmology

(as a service user),

Was early for my appointment it was not bossy, I was takin early.  All metal objects removed into scanner was told it would take 15 to 20 mins and would be quite loud.

Ear plugs fitted, should was so loud I had no communication with staff it seemed much longer than 20 mins.  I panicked for a few moments but settled and let very noisy scan go on. I then worried if there was something wrong with the machine pre st my alarm taken out. I was told "you have only been in scan for 15 mins", I asked will you have looked at enough,   but said they hardest realised it was only for a eye scan, could this been done quicker, could l have been sedated?
