I am having a MRI done today. What exactly are they looking for? Is it scary?
Thanks,

No its not scarey. You just have to go through a tunnel like thing, and while you are there just realax and think of goodtimes and happy thoughts....then its over.

So did you get your results???? I was anxious to hear?

Yes, I got the results. There was a bright spot on my brain. (I am not sure what that meant) He said in the lower portion of the left side. The radiologist that read it suggested that I have another one in a closed machine and with contrast dye. I go to do that this Friday.
Do you know what the bright spot means? My Dr. I could tell, was not making any guesses. He told me that it could be lack of oxygen or inflammation or a lesion but he couldn't tell from the MRI results clear enough to give me a for sure answer.
Just out of curiosity what do you think?
He also said if the next MRI showed more he would be referring me to a neurologist.
Blessings,
Kathy

I bumped this to see if I can get an answer from any of you before I go see the Dr. on this Friday July 26.

If anyone has any input please let me know by Friday.

Thanks,
Kathy
