Re: MRI w/out contrast - Can that detect MS?

Re: MRI w/out contrast - Can that detect MS?
So after going to the neurologist, who said he didn't see anything wrong with my head scan w/out contrast, he put me on a muscle relaxer for 3 weeks. It tended to make me really drowsy, so I didn't take too much of it, I would vary between 1/2 to 1 1/2 pills at most because in the morning I'd be so ...

Re: MRI w/out contrast - Can that detect MS?
Most but not all people with multiple sclerosis will have demyelinating lesions in the brain on a 1.5 tesla or stronger field strength MRI without contrast. Contrast dye (gadolinium) enters lesions which are active with breakdown of the blood-brain-barrier which "enhances" the lesions, bu...

MRI w/out contrast - Can that detect MS?
Hi all, I'm new to the forum, so excuse me if I'm not suppose to post here... but I'm a 33 yr old female, active lifestyle, non-smoker, and I've been having on/off symptoms now for about 4 yrs.
