The only scan I've ever found annoying was the MRI, and only because of the
noise. They gave me headphones and let me pick my own music, but the
clanking still made it through. Not as badly as it would have without the
headphones, though.

The abdominal CT wasn't great fun, mostly because the contrast gave me some
side effects I won't describe here but they were consistent with
colonoscopy prep and I hadn't been told to expect them. Oopsy. Other scans,
aside from the aforementioned c-scope, were a breeze. And even that was
okay aside from the prep, because of the blessed Versed.
