I had an MRI in a 3T machine for the first time today. Previously all of them have been on a 1.5 - and the difference was amazing!

While as I said before, I have numerous lesions, today, my brain looked like someone had a party and threw confetti in there. Most likely not new ones, as the main culprits were all there - just brighter and clearer, but whole sections that I never knew were affected were lighting up because the slices were so much finer, and there were so many more pictures and areas never shown before.

Darn it - there is a big party going on in there, and all I get to do is clean up the mess they cause afterwards!

my neuro insists on only using 3T MRI machines because they are much more specific...

I am sure you weren't invited to the party in your brain Lynn...they sound like crashers to me-literally

When my Neuro read my first positive MRI report, she said, "wow, the way this sounds I should not be looking at a functioning person!" But I was fine....just had some weird symptoms that kept popping up.

You can have lots of lesions with minimal disability and just a few with major repercussions.

I'm glad you have no lesions in your spine as that is what typically affects your mobility.
