Machine that "sees" lesions in gray/white matter
Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 2:11 pm
Is there currently a type of machine that can locate lesions in the white and gray matter of MS patients?
I just had an MRI last week and it showed no lesions at all in my brain even though I have had a diagnosis based on symptoms of MS for over 35 years. The neurologist that my doctor called while I was in her office last week told her that if no lesions were showing up, it was not possible for me to have MS.
Twelve or thirteen years ago I had my first MRI which also showed no lesions from my head all the way down my spine. Now I am wondering if my lesions are all in the areas of the brain which do not show up on a regular MRI.
Are any of you in similar circumstances?
