A member asked:

Can cns vasculitis be seen on a non contrast mri?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The MRI needs to be with contrast. Also, there is no specific findings on MRI that will diagnose vasculitis. An MRI will show white matter lesion consistent with vasculitis but the same lesions are also consistent with several other causes including lyme disease. You should address all of your numerous questions to a rheumatologist.
