An MRI is nice just to rule out the other possibilities. It gives you less to worry about.  |
I too am impressed by the technology of the MRI, but am confused by it's capabilities, or lack of.. I was recently diagnosed with TLE, and informed my doctor that I was highly suspicious that I had suffered one or more concussions in my youth while playing football. He then ordered an MRI, although in my own personal research I find that there's no way to tell so many years later that I had a concussion! I am now 62. If anyone can shed some light on this perplexing situation, I would very much appreciate it.
