Difficulty walking. will doctor's be able to tell me what the multiple sclerosis is affecting just by mri report. no film. 5 other test negative. 4 ms?

Maybe not: If you have an established diagnosis of MS, then rest assured your MRI studies will be "abnormal". The question a neurologist will ask him/herself, are any of these abnormalities new since the last MRI? Are any of these abnormalities recently active? (enhanced with contrast). Are there any new lesions on the spinal cord?

I have a magnetic implant (LINX) that doesn't allow MRIs above 0.7T - if I needed an MRI in the future for something such as Multiple Sclerosis, are 0.7T/0.3T open MRIs reliable enough for MS? What about spinal tap? Is my only option implant removal?
