I had an Upright MRI and they sat me on a chair and rested my head (or chin?) against a bar (if I remember rightly – it was about 5 years since!). I was able to watch a DVD whilst it was happening and it was altogether a much nicer experience than the usual MRI.
Although, I have to say, those that who read and reported on the MRI’s were not very good and missed most of the signs associated with our condition – BAH!
