Telvaker, how did your appointment go? Did you get some answers?

My recovery is going okay. No surprises so far, and I am very happy for that. Was warned to take it slow and that it would be long. Thanks for asking.

Wished I had seen your post on MRIs earlier. "3T" high resolution refers to the power of the MRI machine, 3T means 3 Tesla. Older or cheaper MRI machines are in the 1-1.5 Tesla range and the image quality is not as good.

A good contrast will highlight the cysts better, and with 3T MRIs you get the best images. Since Tarlov cysts can be small or hide behind each other, it helps to get the best imaging.
