I heard these MRIS with DWIs are a lot better at detecting things. I'm not really experiencing to much symptoms right now but I wanted to go look at.

A DTI MRI will not show specific damage. It will just show areas where fluid flow is abnormal. They have little value for treatment. They can differentiate some kinds of injuries in some cases. They are more focused on confirming that the brain is not functioning correctly, information often needed in a personal injury law suit.

Neurologists request them but it helps if the neurologist has experience with understanding the results.

DTI is a special form of DWI.

You could call an MRI clinic and ask if they have any neuro's who request and have expertise with DTI MRI's. A neuro radiologist may be good at pointing you to the proper neurologist.

If you current symptoms are mild and not a health risk, you may have a hard time getting someone to justify the need for one.

I guess I'm just worried about Alzheimer's and **** developing later in life and wanted to see what my risks where. Idk

It will not indicate risks like that. It takes comparison images over time to see changes. I think you have more important things to be concerned with than statistical risks. Live your life today.

All of us have a statistically higher risk risk of dementia in later years but that is a poorly defined number.

Also is your head after a concussion more likely to be concussed by things
That normally would never cause a concussion? Like certain hits and stuff that normally wouldn't give you a concussion are you more susceptible to them giving you a concussion during your recovery period? Thanks for all your help. I'm probably not going to get an MRI now since my symptoms are mild.

The research shows that most do not develop a sensitivity that makes them susceptible to an new concussion from less severe impacts. But, some of us experience more sensitivity to impacts. That increased sensitivity can be due to anxiety that makes a very mild impact and set of symptoms magnify to more severe symptoms.

Many concussion symptoms are due to upper neck injuries that have a totally different recovery that can be re-injured by minor trauma.

Hi Mark. I accidentally posted in the wrong thread. do most also not develop a sensitivity to jolts that normally wouldn't cause a concussion? Today my hair got caught in a door and it yanked my head kind of hard. But there was no whiplash motion of back and forth so that's good right?
