OK,

I just spend last few hours finding out some more good info.

Check this out.


I remember a member on our forums Enbloc had a special MRI done specifically focused on her DRG at John Hopkins.

I googled John Hopkins and Magnetic Resonance Neurography and look what came up:

Check the video on left hand side by Dr. Avneesh Chhabra, MD. In Enbloc’s thread she mentioned that he was the Dr. who read the results of her scan.

So after a few phone calls, I found his number and contacted him directly. He publish a book on MR Neurography.

Dr. Chhabra was very pleasant to talk to. I asked him about the MRN Dr. Filler performs and he told me its only a 1.5 Tesla MRN and there's are 3 Tesla. The best part of all for what he is saying is that the insurance company covers it. It may be the way John Hopkins submits the paperwork, not sure. He told me all I have to do is get my Neurologist to write a script for an MRN of the Brachial Plexus and fax it to:

Yolanda Barnes
mskscheduling@jhmi.edu
410-502-2831
410-502-6454 (fax)

I just left a message for my neurologist to talk about this.
He also told me he works with Dr. Allan Belzberg if I need to have any injections. Here is info just in case anyone in PA, MD, VA area would want someone closer to home.
