The bone scan is much easier than the MRI scan. You lie flat and they scan your head starts first…this takes around 5 minutes then the bed moves backwards so your head is now out of the machine…they do the next bit and slowly again the machine moves backwards for the rest of the scan. Of all the scans I have had, this is the nicest…if that’s the correct word. You just have to lie very still and you keep your hands flat against your sides. No problems. Love Val
