Default Questions about tests

My first post. I have read a lot here, and there are lots of knowledgable folks. hope you can all help me too

I have seen several docs, got lucky to find a few who recognize adn treat TOS. However, before surgery I want to know which of all these tests, and where/who they are done have the best chance of helping my docs decide.

In no particular order:
Dr. Filler's nurogram
Dr. Collins MRI-MRA-MRV in LA
EMG and nerve conduction

I think x-ray is not helpful, I don't think I have cervical ribs
I also heard ultrasound of the arteries and veins can be good.

I heard Dr. Filler's test can be done several places around the country.
I also read that scalen anterior block is used before surgery.

I apologize because much of this has been covered before, but I keep waiting for something new and exciting!

So for one with no cervical ribs, TOS on both sides, after overuse on computer, how does one decide before surgery?

Thanks
