Re: LP and MRI

[Guest guest]

That’s a good point. Although I

thought I read that you could detect the difference between an active or an

inactive lesion on the MRI. I’ll have to check on that.

Some doctors will use the LP to see if you are currently having an

attack. Some things cannot be seen on an MRI.

Trisha,

I'm pretty darned sure that an MRI will show the difference between an

active and an inactive lesion... I know that my neurologist showed me

the active lesion on my spine at T4 in May.. and he found many many many

inactive lesions on the spine in other areas as well.. and those he

showed me as well.. the inactive lesion were nowhere near as bright a

white on those films..
