I'm no expert, but I think things have moved on considerably in the last 10 years.

"Going into the tunnel" isn't always required, 'specially if the quacks are concentrating on a specific part of the anatomy. Patients are also given a "panic button" - activation of which results in instant removal from the contraption.

Speak to the radiology dept about your concerns.
