Do you think having the open MRI is as good as the closed? I swore the last time I had a closed one I'd never have another. It seemed to trigger seizures. I felt like they were trying to suck my brains out for an hour or longer. My GP wants me to have another MRI & all available here is closed but I don't want to do it. Thanks.

I believe you get much better image quality with the closed models, so it might be worth finding a way to do the closed one if at all possible. Would it help to take a Valium or Ativan before undergoing the scan? Could your doctor contact the MRI techs to discuss options to help make you more comfortable?
