Avatar f tn is MRI also possible in this case? Is MRI scan also effective in diagnosing Volvulus or Paraesophageal hernia? I ask this due to the large amount of radiation involved in CT scan, and I don't want to expose myself to such radiation if there is a better alternative.
Avatar f tn This may inhibit the forceful contraction of the bile into the small intestine. A HIDA scan creates pictures of your liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and small intestine and is quite useful in diagnosing gall bladder problems. You have already had number if tests which have all not diagnosed gall bladder disease. It seems unlikely that you have gall bladder problem. It could be possible that you have gastro esophageal reflux disease which causes heartburn, nausea, difficulty in swallowing etc.

Avatar f tn Well instead of doing an MRI on my husband because of the nodule they did another cat scan. The said there is one 12mm smooth nodule on his lower right lobe so now they are going to do a PET scan, he's having that done on the 20th. I am confused. Why the PET scan do they suspect cancer?? From reading the different posts I was under the impression that they do a cat scan every 6 mos. to monitor the nodule. Is the fact that the Dr. requested a PET scan bad news?
Avatar f tn Hi Lallan, thanks for your response. My father has since had an MRI scan to check his stomach and was told that he has some cysts. Luckily the cancer has not spread, but at least the MRI scan put my fathers mood at ease. He is also taking pills, I guess for the same reason as you say, against acidity. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Avatar f tn Not necessarily. I had a scan at 8weeks and didn't have another one until I was 16 weeks.
Avatar f tn I am sorry you are having those symptoms and your ca 125 has gone up. If you can afford it I would choose a Pet scan. An MRI or Cat scan just covers a certain part of your body. A Pet scan covers your whole body and I think the cancer shows up better due to the contrast they use. If there is cancer anywhere in your body it will light up. It gives me more peace of mind. There are other things that can cause your ca 125 to go up and you are still in the normal range.

Avatar f tn Is it necessary to have more than one MRI scan done. I have only ever had the one scan, 15 yrs ago which was when I was given my official dx, despite having several episodes/relapses since. Initially told I had RRMS now being told I have SPMS with relapses.
Avatar n tn i had mri scan of my brian 3 weeks ago and now want me to have another with the dye injected first . does this mean they have found somehing wrong ?
Avatar f tn This headache could be due to raised intracranial pressure and lowering of temporal lobes on MRI due to brain herniation, which is a consequence of very high intracranial pressure. Herniation could result from many factors causing mass effect and increase intracranial pressure including traumatic brain injury, stroke and brain tumor. You need to consult a neurologist immediately with this concern, as this can be fatal. Hope this helps. Take care.
Avatar n tn I know your question is based on needing to know where to get a private MRI scan, which i am unsure of!! Maybe try finding some in your local directory? Best of luck!!!!

Avatar f tn The further course of management can be decided thereafter. Let your neurosurgeon examine you with your MRI scan report for best assurance. Take care.
