MRI

I am having an MRI on the 11th of May and I asked if it was a T3 dynamic and they said it was a 3T but didn't know what the dynamic was.  Will this be the same?

No... T3 is good - but dynamic is the technique. Dynamic means that the contrast will be give WHILE  you are in the machine. The tumor will then show up better by showing the uptake or lack or uptake of the contrast. If they take you out and give it, the opportunity is lost.

It takes a special set up, or an iv line and two techs.  Really, this is not new, they should know it by now. Find a place that does pituitary scans.
