As far as the Tesla, there is an interesting thread about this in our "old place". (I recommend you taking a look at the thread.) I thought that living in NYC I would have access to state of the art machines and I was a little dismayed that the place I've been going to has 1.5 machines. I was also CONFUSED because they told me they "update" every 6 months! It was explained there that it is the quality of the machines (not necessarily the Tesla) and although my question on this is still pending, possibly (because of that "update" thing) the imaging software.

One idea would be to call an MS specialist or neurologist in your area and see what facility they recommend using. Hopefully they'll be forthcoming with a recommendation even though you're not a patient and it's possible that the place you've been using is okay.
Last MRI was just last month (Jan. 8th or 10th, not sure). I will look for that tread, thanks.

Oh and don't most neuro's want to see the MRI films (or CD) them self's? Mine never asked to see them, I even asked if he was going to get them and look it over. He said "I don't need to see anything".
