Default Use of contrast in MRI
Hi,

I asked my neuro if she'll ask for contrast in my next MRI. She gave a long winded explanation as my 4 year old son is whinging at me to leave, so I didn't understand her (and her accent). I think she said "if the tech feels the need to".

so does this mean if they find lesions, they then pull you out of the machine and add the dye to enhance them?
I'm worried I'll be laying there assuming they found lesions and go into panic mode.
