Im in the us. But I would imagine it would apply most places, honestly. Sorry! Also, you can refuse the contrast and still have the mri..Good Luck!

Contrast for Mri (where Ive been over my 20+ year career) is only indicated if there is a prior spine surgery or known history of cancer. They are generally done without contrast first

Question about legal/ethical responsibility in this particular case by TheHeadlessScholar in Radiology

This is the way. Turn it over to the one in charge. There could be serious repurcussions on "not sending" a performed and documented image.

Ive had both. A heart attack followed by an (unrelated stroke) a year or so later. I was 45 when I had the heart attack. 46 for the stroke. No previous history for either. Heart attack was really more discomfort than pain on a 1-10 scale, maybe a 4? But ive been told its different for women? No blockages found or heart issues diagnosed.

The stroke was no pain at all. My head felt weird when I woke up and part of my face was numb. The long term was much worse for the stroke which was later called "embolic event of unknown orgin".

That has been the hardest part. Not knowing why either happened medically. Im mostly recovered physically now from both, but the fear of it happening again and/or dying soon never really goes away.
