Question
Ufrustrated2
the VA MS clinic is scheduling a new MRI series soon. the doctor said it would only be a 1.0T strength. that is a low power MRI. the MS help groups i go to all said they were scanned with machines much higher such as 3.0T strength. low power machines ofter do not pick up the brain or spinal lesions.
obviously they are not wanting to see if new lesions have formed if they want to use such a low power machine.
my question, is it within my rights to ask the dr that i want the series to be done with a higher strength machine?
