Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Just wondering . . . when trying to confirm or rule out the possibility of MS, how important is it to have contrast with the MRI's? I've had a c-spine & lumbar spine MRI but neither were done with contrast. So far the results have shown nothing; it got me thinking. The docs have been focusing on ortho and disc possibilities which is why I guess they haven't ordered contrast, yet, but could that be keeping them from seeing any other possibilities??? Thoughts . . .. ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Contrast only shows lesion activity. If there were no lesions to begin with, then contrast is a moot point. Hang in there, getting a dx one way or another is a real pain.http://practical-homeschooling.org www.laurascoolstuff.com Just wondering . . . when trying to confirm or rule out the possibility of MS, how important is it to have contrast with the MRI's?
