Could not do a HIDA scan today - what is your experience?

I was referred for an HIDA scan and when attended I was told the camera would be right on my face, including over my eyes, as close as possible, and I would have to stay still for an hour basically sandwiched under the camera (with my arms strapped so i would not move). I found this too claustrophobic, I did not expect it, so the appointment was rescheduled. Watching videos on Youtube I can see patients faces stick out from the camera and I wonder if the hospital I went to has a different one? What is your experience of an HIDA scan?
