Quix or anyone?
Hi Me again!!!!!!!
As it was the ENT that ordered the MRI with contrast and wanted the inner ear included in it. will he be just looking for an inner ear disorder or will he be looking for MS? he did say he is not a neuro but at least the brain MRI with contrast will be ready and available when i see my neuro,
If i get to see my neuro sooner ( which will be at a proper neuro hospital with better MRI) should i mention this MRI or let them do there own testing on the even better equipment?
Any advise?? Its a 5-6 week wait for the MRI so wont see ENT for 8 weeks as have to wait for 2 weeks for results to come back to him, but am on a urgent neurolist for appointmnet so more likely to see them first.
What does contrast involve?

Think that is the best idea actually.As the ENT will be looking at different things then the neuro will.
Thank you.
Since it isnational health care, I woullet the neuro hospital do their own films. It will not cost you and you might get better immages.
Thank you
with the NHS ( i live in the UK) we dont get coppies only of the report not like the actual cd of the brain just doesnt happen and we have to even ask for the writian copy of the report.
The telsa is 1 or 1.5 which is the strongest there is in this area but i think at the neuro hospital it is stronger so i am hoping to have a full work up there too with contrast.

Sounds like you have a very good ENT.
If possible you should call or go to the place where the MRI was performed to ask for a copy with the report (very important). Ask for what tesla (magnet the mri was performed with). That is important because if your neurologist is looking for lesions the higher the magnet the clearer the images.
The contrast dye is called gadolinium. That is the dye inserted intravenously to highlight areas of the brain as in lesions, white, grey matter of the brain etc. Its usually harmless but some people are allergic to it. Afterward its important to drink plenty of water to cleanse your system.
