I read this and am wondering is this a big change? I am not a medical person so do not really understand it.

Doesn't appear to change the importance of an MRI for a diagnosis, but it does state that the spinal MRI should be considered for part of the process. Probably to stress the fact that sometimes leisons will be in the spine and not the head.
My comment was the fact my neuro has done two scans of the spine but not the brain before and since I changed DMD's

dI am just really curious about it because I am going to have my next MRI in an up to date facility. The MRI's I have been diagnosed on was a lesser strength mobile MRI. It travels from place to place.
I have been told by my new MS neuro that the mobile MRI's are not the best. I am not sure the strength in the one I am schedualed to be in is any stronger but it sounded like the pictures are more reliable. When the tech with the traveling MRI was doing my T or L spine (can never remember which it is) she could not get all of the contrast in because my vein gave out. So I have always wondered about that one. It is making me really anxious and I have to wait until September. I have had optic neuritis twice, foot drop, hyper reflexes and a number of other ms-like things but I wonder what is going to happen if they find no lesions on this new MRI. I had two lesions, one old one and light up, on the traveling machine. I know, crazy, always have to have something to worry about!! I just don't want to go through what some have when they have their dx taken away and are sitting in wonder land. LA Quote:
