MS: Brain lesions in MS may recede on MRI irrespective of presence or absence of symptoms. I feel the best treatment for MS is obtained from a neurologist with a special interest in that disorder. He/she would be up to date on all available treatment options.

Apologies, final question about Multiple Sclerosis. If lower rated open MRIs 0.3/0.7T may miss smaller MS lesions,are they still capable of diagnosing MS at all? Is it just a case of not gold standard but can at least detect something for diagnosis?

A 31-year-old male asked:
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?
