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 m tn 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).
Avatar f tn anyway issues with her computer she didnt show me my images or explain them to me but all she said was i have chiari and to come back in 6mths with a new mri. from the initial report i have mild hydrocephalus and chiari type 1 8mm. i was wondering if anyone else can see anything else happening on the image. few ppl on another group pointed out some things but ns didnt mention any of those.
Avatar n tn An ultrasound and an uptake scan are different tests. :o) Didn't know FNA's were so expensive though...ouch.
Avatar m tn 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.
1430704 tn?1306387507 Hi Yes I have had it done. It hurts and you have to wear compression stockings (if you are having it done on your legs) for at least a week but it really is worth it. I am extremely fair and had a ton of spider veins on my legs. It will not control every single tiny vein and there are some that have not gone away 100% but it is a really great result I have and am happy. I don't know where in the world you live and will presume you are in USA.
Avatar n tn We had it done. Im in the u.s. and it took 2 weeks to get back. My insurance covered it.
Avatar f tn 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. Thank you!
987762 tn?1671273328 The MRI The purpose of a MRI or magnetic resonance imaging machine, is to harmlessly work out what internally is physically wrong with you, without involving exploratory surgery. MRIs have 3 types: conventional, open bore and fully open. In an conventional MRI, a long toroidal (Doughnut-shaped) electromagnet supplies the electromagnetic force, and the subject is put through a long 'tunnel', where a full-body scan is supplied.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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!
567677 tn?1246767776 One more thought about the cost - did they give you a price for the MRI test? See if you can get that negotiated rate like they do with the big insurance companies. I'm with Anthem and it seems to me they only pay about 20-25% of the rate that is billed for my MRI's. It would be great if you could get this worked out too.
1142731 tn?1335092049 I had my MRI yesterday, full spine and brain examination was ordered by my Pain Specialist who I had recently just seen at Royal Melbourne Hospital. I had initially seen him for chronic pain from a MVA for a lower back injury. He did some neurological tests and picked up I had hyperreflexia. Unexpectedly the Radiologist who done my MRI came to see me after it was finished. I thought it odd as he asked me when was I going back to see the Doctor, which I told him March 18th.
Avatar f tn should I wait for the scan or start oral med now?
13771703 tn?1431418700 Thanks Elisaandbucky and SelmaS, is this the list you're referring to: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Chiari-Malformation/CHIARI-DRS-LIST-Australia/show/1314732 No one mentioned Melbourne doctors in that list. I swear living here is like living in Medieval times. However after googling I found a facebook page and a relevant site which I will link for other's convenience should they view this thread: https://www.************/chiari.syringomyelia.australia http://www.chiariaustralia.
765439 tn?1292960414 Nevertheless, if you feel strongly about not having a CT scan, you can call your doctor and tell him or her that you want an MRI instead of a CT scan. But be aware that your insurance may decline to cover the cost of the MRI since CTs are the standard for a 21 y/o male patient.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn I had oral sex without condom and vagina sex with condom in Melbourne legal brothels several times, now i worried about HIV, I had hiv test in MSHC in Melbourne when it is 6 weeks and 3 months after the last exposure.
