Looks like the patient lost his mind.
That’s the story they want you to believe.
I’m putting a band logo on this and making it an NFT and gonna sell it for a mazillion dollars to some Tool fanboy.
Scottie.. there is something wrong with the transporter beam ….
Those CT scans are a trip. I remember telling the medical personnel I did not need anything to help relax me, as I figured i would just close my eyes and “go to my happy place” mentally, until it was over. Once I was slid into the tube (with eyes closed) and I could feel the breath from my nose being blown back against my face…I thought, “well that wasn’t a great plan”
I made it through just fine, but I still get a laugh thinking about that.
Reminds me of The Thing
And this is why I get Valium before scans!
I had an MRI with contrast. It took literally everything I had not to bolt upright and projectile vomit across the room.
That exactly looks like a panic attack feels like. Have had them for 30 years.
Looks like the dementors got them.
EXPECTO PATRONUM
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.
They mostly come at night …mostly
How it feels to be claustrophobic
Aliens
And coincidentally it becomes a beautiful visual representation of literally trying to escape one’s own head

And it ripped his skull apart! You’d think those things were safer than that.
Some Area 51 conspiracy theorist is going to use this picture to prove aliens exist.
we got no food, we got no jobs… OUR PATIENTS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!
If Aphex Twin did CT scans
This should be an album cover
It was enough for me to have my head in an MRI machine for a thyroid scan that was bad enough. And it was with contrast so I felt like I was pissing my pants while doing it. I kept my eyes closed most of it but I got curious at the end which I regretted. If you just keep your eyes closed the minute you lay down on the table you keep it closer the whole thing it probably won’t be that bad. My more autistic than me brother has to be sedated to go in an MRI machine. I don’t need it to that level but I deal with serious sensory overload afterwards because of the noise and the closeness and the nerves in general.
Looks like someone really lost their head
I didn’t know I was claustrophobic until I had a closed MRI. Thank god for Xanax.
*This is your brain on politics*
Looks like an out of body experience
IMPRESSION:
Significant displacement of facial structures from the calvarium seen on scout image. Differential diagnosis includes demonic possession, ghost in the CT scanner, intracranial explosive event, or congenital malformation. Clinical correlation is required. Exorcism remains the diagnostic and therapeutic modality of choice for demoniac and phantasmal pathology.
