Question 1

i am trying to find out in which countries upright mri machines are used?

Accepted Answer

MRI: They are available at US, UK, Australia, India. I am not sure of your location but you could always call your insurance or a local radiology center to find out. Hope it helps.

Question 2

can an upright mri find an issue with neck that conventional mri cannot if patient complains symptoms like panic/anx only occur while standing?

Accepted Answer

No: Assuming you can find an upright mri, this would not give any more information.  Quite the contrary, any non-conventional mri, be it extremity (sitting), or open, produces lower quality images than conventional mri.

Question 3

suspected cci. i have ehlers danlos and have had severe neck pain for 15 years. imaging shows the usual degenerative but i just had an upright mri and am hoping someone with cci experience can have a look for it?

Accepted Answer

: We are unable to review your images on this site.  However, if you wish, schedule a virtual consult on HT, where you can display your films and reports and have all of this thoroughly evaluated  (www.connect@healthtap.com)

Question 4

awaiting approval of thoracic mri for dull pain. when upright is it usual for t3/4 area (site of pain) to protrude as small bump? rest of spine smooth

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you are talking about a disc bulge/protrusion, it is possible that it may increase in the upright position,due to the increased axial load on the spinal column due to gravity.  Whether this is related to symptoms or not is a different question.

Question 5

pressure buildup in back of head when lying down feels like fluid.  ct lp and mri supposedly clear.  pressure and tingling also there when upright?

Accepted Answer

Think muscles!!!: You have a muscle issue in the neck and shoulders because they work together. Tightness in these muscles will pinch nerves and trigger all types of odd pain sensations. For chronic pain suffers a wellness program of vitamins and minerals (esp. Magnesium glycinate) sleep hygiene, exercise, self massage, yoga, heat, epsom tub soaking, stretching all are needed. I like acupuncture!

Question 6

what is a mri?

Accepted Answer

An imaging procedure: Mri is an imaging procedure which provides the radiologist with detailed images of the body.  The machine uses a very large magnet to help produce the images.  There is no ionizing radiation.  During the procedure, the machine will make many loud noises.  Most patients choose to wear headphones and listen to music to avoid some of the noise.

Question 7

what is a cine mri?

Accepted Answer

Motion sensitive MRI: A cine MRI is a special type of MRI image in which a series of static images are obtained at different times and then played back as a movie.  Cine MRI is helpful in evaluating tissues that move such as the heart, flowing blood, or cerebral spinal fluid.  It is occasionally used in evaluating bowel, joint or muscle motion.

Question 8

who can't get an mri?

Accepted Answer

Patients: with certain implanted devices like pacemakers, and other indwelling or non removable objects with ferromagnetic properties.

Question 9

are nerves seen on mri?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as..: ...you restrict the meaning of &quot;nerve&quot; to its proper definition of one of the large named peripheral nerves e.g. median, trigeminal, common peroneal; or the nerve ROOTS in the spinal canal; or the roots, trunks and cords of the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses. You can&#x27;t see individual neurons or terminal branches such as nerve endings in the skin.

Question 10

why would i need an mri?

Accepted Answer

MRI is simply using: Radiowaves and magnetism to image your body.  It lets us see many things and your doctor would best help you where it is most useful.  It is super important for imaging of the brain and spine. It is very important for imaging of the prostate and breast.  It is good for almost any kind of imaging if done properly.  It does not use ionizing radiation and therefore is safer than using xrays.
