It is HIGHLY recommended that you have with AND without. It should be of little consequence to the doc - a stroke of the pen. Insist on it.

On my MRI orders it said "Eval MS" and the radiologist said when they see that they automatically do with & without contrast because doing without is pretty useless in that evaluation. What exactly did your Dr. order? You might want to just double check. I would not want to do MRIs more than needed. Might as well get it all done in one day!
Do you have the MRI scheduled yet?
I don't have the MRI scheduled yet. I have to call tomorrow to set this up. I had the EEG done on Friday. When I set up the MRI what should I ask them about their machines because I have been reading the forum that I want to make sure this is a newer machine because the older machines did not show up lesions but the newer ones did. Thank you for all of your help.
I highly recommend you read Quix's post on MRI's. It explains what is detected without and with contrast. I will bump it to the top for you.
