PCS - MRI, fMRI, etc.
Recently while abroad I had the opportunity to receive a 3.0 Tesla MRI at relatively little cost.
I was looking forward to having some proof that my condition is real. Instead, the scans did not reveal any damage. This was both surprising and frustrating as I am quite positive that the symptoms I experience have an organic cause.
I have a few questions:
1. Does a 3.0 Tesla MRI detect everything? (If it helps at all, my concussion was the result of being kicked in the head).
2. Should I see a neurologist/behavioural neurologist or a neuropsychologist? I'm concerned that a neurologist would just take a look at my "normal" scans and dismiss me as healthy without even bothering to peform an fMRI. Do neuropsychologists perform/order fMRIs?
That's it for now...thanks to Guru Mark and whoever else responds!
