What was the first scan you had? MRI? CT? note: the dinky x-ray your dentist has doesn't count.

Mine was a CT, taken two hours ago. It really gets interesting when you wonder if the giant white donut will stop rotating towards you before or after it crushes your torso into a bloody pulp.

X-Ray in a hospital. At one point in Childhood, for some reason I couldn't lift my legs when I was sitting down trying to get up. Though I have forgotten what was said of it after that.~Jason

The first one was probably an X-ray scan, the first one I remember was an X-ray of my leg, and the one after that was an ultra-sound scan.

X-ray. Dentist.

X-ray at least ten years ago. For what, I don't remember.

Why the CT scan? Hope it's nothing serious. Myself, my first scan was an x-ray. I was taking the ball up when this skinny son of a bitch half my size shoulder charged me right in the sternum. He somehow hit the boney part of his shoulder right in my own boney part of my otherwise manly chest. Christ that hurt!

X-Ray. Had two. First was 4 1/2 years ago, after damaging my knee fairly badly (I still don't have my driver's license because of the injury). Second was this summer, because of concerns I might have a tumor or cyst in my left maxillary sinus (the one behind the cheekbone).

I don't remember any aside from dentist x-rays, which don't really count. I may have had something when I was very small.

Ultrasound-sonogram type thing. Seeing my guts live on a screen was strange.

There is no option for tricorder?

I wonder, would an ultrasound being done on you while you're still inside mommy count? (I don't know if it was done on me or not, but was curious)

First one was probably the X-ray in 3rd grade for the broken wrist..

After that I have had several others for feet and whatever else, and an MRI.

X-rays and some other weird scan before they operated on my intestines. I've also had CT scans, PET scans, and an MRI done too, fun stuff, one of these days I'll probaly start glowing in the dark.

X-Ray, as far as I remember. Though when I split my head open as a kid, it may have been something else.

I had a X-Ray about 6 years ago. I had to lie NAKED on this cold metal bench. They gave me a washcloth for concealment.

MRI. When your brain is inflammed and pushing against your skull, you tend to have it looked out.

Not even one of those lead things...? o.O

If they're doing a full-body scan, you can't use a lead apron. Even for my skull X-rays, I could only be shielded from the floating ribs down, to keep any errors from popping up. My upper torso couldn't have any metal on it at all.

Probably an X-ray with barium "milk" for resolution at age of about 1 week.

I had x-rays as an infant, I was born premature and put into an incubator and had a host of problems when I was one.

I had an MRI about 4 years ago. It was for a possible eye problem. They kept telling me not to move which was interesting cause I thought I was still as possible.

It was to scan my upper leg.

A while back, they were threatening me with a radioactive tracer injected into my veins, this frankly scared the shit out of me (although constipation wasnt the problem), and seemed to scare the kidney problems away. Either that or because I started to drink more fluids...
