A member asked:
My collar bone is sticking out (past 60 days). i've been told via a ct scan it's a ganglion cyst pushing the bone. should i request an mri?

No point unless Symp: Unless you're having symptoms related to the collar bone (or unexplained symptoms), there's no point to the MRI. It will only show you the ganglion cyst that you know is already there. It won't push you towards surgery, especially if you don't have symptoms, unless you've talked to a surgeon.
