I had an mri without contrast for a 4 day old head injury due to persisting concussion symptoms. My question and concern is if an mri without a contrast given will still be effective in showing any bleeding within the brain?

A member asked:

Do I still need to be concerned about a slow brain bleed 3 weeks after a concussion? I didn't have a ct scan or mri but I did go to ER & dr. They said 0 chance of bleed but I'm still worried because I'm dizzy and have headaches everyday?

A member asked:

MRI with no contrast came back "abnormal" for brain scan, for possible concussion. I did move my head a bit during MRI scan. No symptoms, feel fine. Doc recommends MRI with contrast. Could the head movement be a possible cause for abnormal reading?
