Avatar n tn My doctor ordered a head scan with contrast. When I went, they did a scan without contrast then told me they were not going to do the one with contrast. Is that because everything looked normal or because they could already see an abnormality so didn't need to use the contrast?

Avatar n tn Hi guys I wanted to know if anyone knows where to get a private head MRI scan done in the Birmingham region. I've been suffering from this head related illness for almost 2 years and the doctor thinks it's depression which I disagree because the only thing that gets me depressed is the problem itself I'm suffering from.
Avatar f tn I have just had my appt through for a MRI with contrast of the head and spine. I am feeling very anxious as I am very clausaphobic and will be in the scanner for about an hour. If I get sedated my appt will be longer. How small is the tube?

Avatar n tn They did a cat scan and they said it was normal. The first time she hit her head they did a mri and they said that was normal. We are at a lost and not sure what to do.
Avatar n tn I had a brain mri scan for recurrent 'auras' thought to be due to migraine. The result of the scan came back normal except for a few spots of plaques. I am 50, is this normal? I am concerned that it is indicative of early degeneration associated with dementia.
Avatar n tn In this case I can safely suggest reading about MRI scans on Wikipedia. I've had a MRI scan before, on the brain. The Wikipedia article should thoroughly explain the process for you.
Avatar n tn Hi i had an MRI today as i keep feeling really tired and dizzy, this has been going on 4 months. During the MRI a pressure built up inside my head and and eyes it felt like my head was going to explode. I am not a wimp by nature but i had to push the emergency button to stop the scan. This was the last scan and i was only 40 secs away from completion. I looked on search engines and this seems like an unusual MRI experiance can anyone shed light???
Avatar m tn Your daughter needs to be in the ER right now and based on the CT-SCAN/MRI doctors will take immediate action if it is subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma, intracerebral hematoma or something else. I don't think anyone here will be able to predict the consequences at this point. DO NOT DELAY in getting treatment because the initial hours are crucial for full recovery. I am not sure where you are located but in U.
Avatar m tn Keep on the lookout for symptoms specifically nausea, and keep your physician informed. An MRI is less dangerous and more appropriate than a CT, but sometimes an MRI is not available and the risk/benefit decision favors a CT.
Avatar f tn I went for an MRI of brain it showed a posible kink in blood vessel then they had me come back and did a coranary artery brain scan of neck and head. It showed nothing wrong no kinks no nothing. Are MRi's acurate? I have had this weird sensation on left side of head for 2.5 months. it's so annoying. iT's like a pressure feeling. Seems like it stemming from base of skull on left side. My jaws are tight too plus I get a twinge of pain in left side of tempe mostly when bending down.
Avatar f tn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging The above link tells you pretty much everything you didn't want to know about MRIs. I had a brain MRI one time, I had to be sedated because I was afraid of it, they even have a little mirror in there so you can see out of it, sort of claustrophobic in the machine, and they had a microphone and radio in there so I could talk to the techs. When the machine started up, it was VERY loud, surprised me, kind of made a bumping racket.
1831846 tn?1318378596 on the 18th of this month, where I will be demanding an MRI and referral to a specialist. But the CT scan states no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, ventricular system is normal in size and configuration, withough evidence of hydrocephalus. No discrete parenchymal masses nor evidence of mass effect. There is a slight inferior displacement of the cerebellar tonsils, suggesting a mild chiari 1 malformation. No extra-axial blood or fluid collections are identified.
Avatar f tn N cat scan. Showed everything good. Did also do cat scan of my head. Urine test showed mild uti. Impressed shot did nothing. Pain in back stopped. Still have headache when I sit up. If I lay down no headache. Will this straighten its self out. Bo is still 145/85. Normal.
Avatar n tn t stop and is worse when I lay down or sit in a chair. It feels like the same pain I had after I hit my head. I did get a bump and bruise after. Is my dull headache related to hitting my head?
495035 tn?1221753092 Have had two MRI brain scan done in two days and cervical. Demylination is what the neuro wrote and primary T ?whatever primary T? is any ideas anyone? I haven't got the results yet will take a few days.Still have the headache worse in the mornings and earache in both ears, last couple of days have had 'buzzing forehead inside' when i move my head i really dont know what that is ,does anyone else get it? it only lasts for few seconds at a time.
Avatar f tn I went and saw my family doctor about my migraines and he decided to refer me to a neurologist and asked that I get a CT scan. While waiting for the neurologist to get to me, now the nurse calls me and say that I need a MRI before going to see the neurologist. There was no mention of the MRI prior to this phone call and I wanted to make sure that this is necessary. I don't have money to waste! ;) Doesn't a MRI and CT scan basically do the same thing?
Avatar n tn i hit the top/back of my head yesterday off the ceiling hard yesterday afternoon, and i was dizzy and really tired and i have pain in my neck and head and my left ear is like clogged or losing hearing , i was wondering if this is something i should go to the ER for???
1676453 tn?1304369181 and the bells palsy pain seems a lot more noticeable now... I dont want to have to get another MRI or scan so is there anyone who can reassure me that it'll heal on its own and go away???
17490356 tn?1457283801 Now i know that nothing happens in my head or my brain. I had my ct scan because i accidentally bumped my head into the floor last 3 months. Thanks again.
Avatar m tn It would be more beneficial to take a second opinion with your father’s CT scan report and it may benefit to get a MRI done. You can also discuss the treatment modalities with the present doctor. Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
