The open air ones are great- the ones where you get shoved into a tube, are somewhat claustrophobic - between the noise, and the closeness of it - -it's a bizarre feeling.

I know of some doctors who will give people a valium before going into them - because it's common for people to freak out in them...

Music is good - -and practice deep breathing...
Good luck...
It's not an open air one but since it's only my knee they said they'll only stick me in up to my ribs. My arms and head should be free so I doubt I'll have any trouble. I've never been claustrophobic at all either. Thanks though.
