Hi,
I was hoping you would post. I've been thinking about you, knowing you had a test tonight.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't get the 3T test. I see from above you have a neuro radiologist. Now, I wish I had one of those or at least knew how to find one.
I hope you are feeling better this week. Take care and hope you get your results soon.
Respectfully,
Luvsummer
Sorry your test was frustrating to you. We are here for you if you need to vent. Hopefully you get the results quickly. Good luck to you. Pamela
That rots.
Wasn't the C ordered?

I didn't see the order. I called in and the University hospital does everything electronically. I'll have to wait. It was a newer 1.5 T scanner, and they slid me into the bore and never moved the table for the entire scan. They were done non-contrast and contrast in under 45 min. That's what makes me think they didn't shoot the c-spine. I'll just have to see what the report says. Valium worked fine. No claustrophobia this time.
I had to work really hard to make sure that I got a scan on a 3T machine. I don't understand why neurologists don't always schedule you for the best Tesla available!
Part of it is CMSC and MS Society recommendations. If your baseline is is on a 1.5 T, then the followup should be on a 1.5 T. They have some twisted logic. If a 3.0T sees 25% more lesions, they should move up to the 3.0 if it is available. Oh well, no one aver said this stuff made sense.
