I will never know. I’ve had Cat Scans, and various other scans but have a pacemaker, so no MRI’s.

Yes - stay clear of MRIs with the pacemaker! They are like a long tube, & it is quite tight fitting. The first time I tried to go into one was not a good experience. I didn’t even get 1/2 way in & I started pushing the help button. Now, when I get one, I request the open MRI because its only about 2 ft of tube & huge inside. A lot of times if you tell your doctor that you’re claustrophobic, insurance companies will allow you to go where they offer the open MRI.
