Hey,mamamonkey if I remember right when I had my spinal MRI I think it was without contrast I don't know if you can have a spinal MRI with contrast it's a good question. Only my brain MRI was with and without contrast. Maybe someone else here knows the answer.

I'm doing it at my local hospital since my Neuro is in another city. You would think the hospital would have no problems doing it as ordered. My neuro is a MS specialist, so I know this is how he standardly orders his MRI's.
Thanks, guys! I will call the office and see if I can schedule where they normally do the scans.

I just had a cervical spine MRI in Dec. It was done with and without contrast. I'd give your doc a call to check it with him. In the meantime, why don't you call a different MRI facility to see if they'll do it with contrast?

That's what I ended up doing. So I am scheduled on Monday at the facility my Neuro uses. Which I suppose is better anyway, since he knows the Radiologists and such.

Glad to here you got that straightened out! I would call the hospital and put in a complaint about the MRI center, tell them that you are going to another facility because they wanted to run a test contrary to your Drs orders.
They should know that they did that, what if you hadn't questioned it and that caused you not to get the proper treatment.
