Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan cost forums

I had an MRI of the brain back in May, to investigate various cognitive / neurological problems I've been experiencing since the start of 2009 (mild confusion, memory problems, muscle twitching, etc). This came back normal (I have neither copies of the scans , nor the radiographers report - just a letter from neurologist saying all findings were normal).
An ultrasound and an uptake scan are different tests.
:o)
Didn't know FNA's were so expensive though...ouch.
did they order a follow up with an MRI ? this usually gives a better picture on what it is. I can tell you that most lesions on the liver are hemangiomas which are benign and nothing to worry about.
There are no Doctors that moderate this forum. You may want to post your question on Dr Handsfield`s and Dr. Hook`s forum, it will cost a little money to do so. Take care.
It's not a cost issue. My doctor doesn't want to send me to MRI nor CT scan. She says that i don't need to do MRI, because CT didn't showed anyting abnormal, and that i am too young for serious disorders. I find this strange, because it was 8 years ago, and i assume that something could changed. Or maybe i'm wrong?
is an MRI or an ultrasound as accurate as a CT scan in determining if the spot on my liver is a hemangioma and not cancerous? Other than cost, is there a reason I should have a CT scan instead of an MRI? I would rather not have the radiation exposure of a CT scan if an MRI will produce adequate data. Furthermore, should I see a specialist instead of my PCP about this?
Thank you!
As the CT scan report was normal and since there was no MRI scan facility in the hospital the patient was not shifted immediately to another one. The doctor of the hospital to which he was later admitted mentioned about the delay. that is why i felt so. Do you think that the CT scan report which mentioned "brain-stem normal" was correct?
When the ER did a scan the ENT saw something and wanted a dedicated scan of my sinuses and well that brings me to the MRI of my brain.
SO... (sorry of the long but brief start)
It states that I have a nonenhancing pineal gland lesion measuring 4 mm demonstrates low signal on T1 high signal on T2 weighted images remains stable.
Usually a full spine MRI is done to be sure u do not have a syrinx, or tethered cord...plus a CINE MRI to look for CSF blockage and overcrowding...but that should have been done if surgery is being considered.
Ur PCP should check that u r in optimum health....I had my heart checked and a chest x-ray.
May I ask when ur surgery is, and if it is with a true chiari specialist?
What symptoms have u been experiencing?

I just had my first abdominal MRI last week. No results back yet. I had just been getting ultrasounds every 6 mon. up until this point. After listening to a talk from the Liver Meeting about alternating with other methods, I suggested it to my doctor. He was fine with it as long as the insurance would cover it.
They can see this on an MRI because the swelling creates an increased signal on the MRI scan.Macro trabular fracture has to do with a bone stress injury, does your pain increase with running or any kind of physical activity?
Most of this is way over my head, I'll give you 2 links so you can post in the Expert Forums. And also ask your doctor to explain this report to you, if he/she can.

I had a X-ray today and the doctor says my back is fine and suggested me to go for a MRI scan. Due to the cost of MRI scan, i am abit reluctant to go for it unless there is a problem with my back.
I read the symptoms for Herniated Disc online. It says i will feel numbness on my back. But i don't feel any numbness at all. Pain there is, numbness nope. So Dr what do you think could be the reason for my back?
At this point of time he is not able to speak more than two words in a row. His Hb is 8.9. He is on valporate, topiramate and levetiracetam. His MRI scan revealed "Assymetric Right Temporal Horn prominence without any difinite evidence of mesial scerosis"
His walking pattern is also erratic. Most often he adopts "Toe Walking". When he walks slowly, which is rare, he walks alright. Always he tries to rush up and runs in an imbalancing manner.
