Insurance will be more likely to pay for one. It is just a GE software upgrade to a GE 3T MRI system.
Hi Mark

I saw Dr. Cantu and had neuro endocrine testing. From a concussed stand point not impressed. Loud and bright awaiting room. They were more interested in testing me for Alzheimer's dx for their study. Since start of my concussion doctors haven't impressed me only the therapists and behavioral optomatrist. A therapist picked up on my post traumatic vision syndrome not the 2 "concussion specialist" I saw before her.

Thanks for looking into this for me. Have you watched any of Dr. Amen's videos on TED Talk? I just feel it's time to try something different. I feel the current medical system just wants to push medications, which in my case made me a "zombie" and I learned my lesson. At that time I just wanted to feel better and had severe brain fatigue which impaired my judgement. Now my wife and I know better when we go to these appointments.

Thanks again
