I’m a CT tech and patients do this a lot in our ED when they are altered or just not with it mentally.

A lot of you are confusing CT scans with an MRI. CT scans are usually very quick and you don’t have to go into a cylinder. The CT scanner is a big circle that is open on both ends. Most people don’t have problems even when the tell me they are claustrophobic.
