I wonder if they will let me drink half a bottle of gin instead Lol. I'm lucky that either my cousin or my girlfriend will take me there and back  so no worries on that score

You will be fine Kelly, no worries.


Don't forget that with sedation you will not be able to drive home afterwards. When I had some eye surgery the other year, I did not fancy it just with a local anesthetic and I was offered sedation. The surgeon and anesthetist described it as like a Gin & Tonic.  It was good and had the same a week later!


Cheers!

Hi I have been assured by the doctors and nurses that I will be sedated when I have my scans they said that due to my high anxiety level it would be best I'm inclined to agree with them the less I'm aware of what's going on the better. Thankyou to all of you for your reassuring words it has helped I don't feel as anxious now  which is good

(MWh and MW/h both being identical.)

Oh dear, I can feel the ghost of my old physics teacher threatening to clip me about the ear for even thinking of uttering such a thing. The words something like  'dimensional homogeneity' drift across the mists of the years (possibly inappropriately). MWh are Mega Watt Hours - the product of power & time -  MW/h would be Mega Watts per Hour -  a rate of power - completely different units (by a factor of 1/hours²).

Well, I can appreciate a grid control engineer could be interested in the concept of rate of change of power, if not a county planning committee. I would have thought Megawatts per minute would be more practical.

Well that was heavy reading before breakfast on a Friday morning.

OMS, that sort of thing was done, officially, about 20 years ago in Holland, and got written up in the BMJ among other places

here - but you need to pay to read more about it  than the webpage.

For reasons not entirely clear it has far more copy requests than most other BMJ articles about medical imaging.

Could be if the ink is resonant and in the right place! The RF field is several hundred watts of basically microwaves.


I got my arm quite warm once at 432 MHz, it is an extremely strange feeling......

LoL - I couldn't possibly comment


OMS

I hope it is not related to the "having lead in your pencil" saying OMS?

perspicacious:

but the MRI is indeed confined, so just think of the enormous benefit of the scan revealing your inside workings, so your diagnosis and subsequent care is correct!

 

Remind me to tell you the story of a junior doctor who used to like to entertain her gentlemen friends in the MRI suite - it took several very well qualified doctors to actually work out what they were looking at when the imaging got onto the NHS network - it then went viral and nearly crashed the network
