I've had one head CT scan. It was on some new machine and it took like 5-10 seconds. Nothing ended up being wrong, which then annoyed me that I got a fucking CT scan only for there to be nothing wrong and I could have just not gotten it. I was scared of getting brain tumor for like a solid two weeks afterwards, but all of the research I've done tells me that CT scans really don't give off enough radiation to statistically increase cancer risk, and that the head CT scan is easily the safest CT scan to get if you're an adult simply due to how resistant to radiation the brain is. It seems that the people who are actually at risk are children under 5 years old, and even then, looking at the rates of brain cancer in children(0-5) to guys my age(15-24), it's not even double, and children are usually getting head CT scans specifically because a doctor thinks they have brain cancer, so it's sort of a correlation =/= causation thing. Brain cancer rates haven't really increased since 1975 when the CT scanner was introduced(which was mostly used for head scans) and these were older machines that used more radiation. In fact, almost no cancers have increased in incidence. Cancers related to obesity have increased, so a couple of abdominal cancers. That's it.
I'm a huge hypochondriac.

What the fuck is an MRT?

Had an MRI last year on my pituary gland. Nothing more of interest tho..,

an MRI isn't related in any way to a CT scan.

That picture is an MRI machine. It uses magnets. Only a worry if you have metal inplants or shards of metal in your eye from using a grinder.

no it isn't. MRI machines are a tube that you go into. ct scanners take "slices" and you move through them quickly while it's scanning. you don't sit stationary in a tube for a CT scanner. it's just not how they work.

I've had a standing CT scan on my jaw, I was standing still and the plates rotated around me.
I've also had one MRI on my shoulder, it was an "open" one which is also pretty claustrophobic and it took fucking forever. It's really loud inside so they give you ear plugs. They make around 5 types of scans, so the frequency and noise change. It's not a pleasant experience.

that's not a CT scan, unless you mean something like atlanta-dental-implant.com
