A member asked:
My ent wants an mri to clarify refractory sinusitis. my neurologist wants an mri to dx essential tremors vs parkinsonism. i am uninsured and neuro status is advancing. is there one type of mri that will meet the needs of both specialists?

Yes: One MRI examination can target both the brain and face that has sinuses in its bones. Your doctors need to convey their respective issues to the radiologist who will perform the MRI. Wish you good health!
