A member asked:
If i wanna change my ordered ct scan to an mri to safety reasons, would i have to hve an appointment with doc again or could i call and ask the nurse?

Not Playing Doctor: This is a bit of a complicated story. Sometimes MRI is not the best way to evaluate a problem. One cannot just assume that MRI would provide the necessary information. One does not make this determination. Your physician in consultation with the radiologist will order the most appropriate film.
