Well, at least not without leaving out the "1 ton magnet spinning around you at crazy speeds" part.
In any case, everybody goint into one of these things should at least be told that the machine works without ionizing radiation, i.e.: "Unlike a CT scanner, you are not at risk of getting cancer from this."
Maybe that puts at least some people at ease.
