As I had the CT scan and the bone scan on the same day It actually was wonderful, that little nap helped a great deal. The CT scan was a large ring that I had only a blip of panic in - by the time you thought its covering my head, it was already out the other side. coped just fine - you were never enclosed, and I never felt enclosed. I panic if I get my head stuck in a jumper so thats how much I don't like enclosed spaces.
