I was waiting for someone to mention this. I had one MRI at LSL for my back, and that machine was so claustrophobic I never use LSL again. I've had 2 Petscans at the Lake Imaging at The Villages Hospital location, it was really nice place. I've had about 8 catscans at their Colony location, that's convenient for me and they do a good job of getting you in and out. The only time you'll have a needle is if the doctor asks for dye, it's no big deal, I think at our age we get stuck so many times I don't even think about it.
