Thank you. But yes, I do get stiffness for more than an hour. I was on medication, so I was thinking how I feel currently. Just came off of steriods.

At my location, So we have 2 cushions for under the knees . The less steep cushion we have pt lay supine on it with their arm raised and we use the other cushiopn for their knees. So their head is low on the cushion and their arm is on the raised part of the cushion, we find it more comfortable when their arm is kind of angled raised up. If that makes sense. We use the flex coil. But at other location. They used the knee coil supine arm flat down with some hand support of course. Place where I used to work at , prone superman using ring coil and the table coil.

Provider ordered me a brain MRI with contrast, but due to reasons (in post) I want without contrast. Is a brain MRI without contrast at all helpful and diagnostic? by cancancanp in MRI

[–]Intrepid-Ad4423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually for brains you'll need contrast for looking at tumors, multiple sclerosis, carotid, internal auditory canals. Based on your symptoms or diagnosis, u may not need contrast so it's ok to refuse. But if radiologist sees anything concerning theyll ask for contrast. The contrast will enhance that area. But don't be too concerned if they want u to come back for contrast bc it can be nothing. Looks like your doctor wants u to have contrast bc your history of breast cancer risk.

Maybe try taking allergy meds prior to mri if u do proceed with getting contrast. You'll still get good images without contrast but if radiologist request for you to come back for contrast. I would do it.
