That line confused me too. I re-read it numerous times, then decided to just ignore it and keep reading.
I had never heard of the metal gadolinium till now.
If she experienced such a severe reaction, it’s probably also happened to other people. Hopefully, by now there are other choices available. She had a lot of MRI very close together.
At very least these could be spaced further apart. One would hope.
I knew a guy who thinks he is supposed to be able to play contact sports in his 50s and still be pain free. He had good insurance with his company.
He complained that every specialist he went to ordered an MRI and he could not figure out why. I opined, not to gently, that it was because he had the money, the insurance, the time and was willing to let them.
I’m so beat up it takes me at least 10 paces to straighten up from sitting but still no medications and I’ve never had an MRI.
I guess they are good for somethings but I wonder how we ever did without them they are used so frequently. Guess you gotta pay for those expensive machines somehow.
They do full spine now, all at the same time, cheaper than doing 3 separate sections. They only do 1, if that is all they need. Not all are radiologist read though, had cervical/lumbar, only the lumbar had a report, though cervical was just as degenerative and painful pinching many nerve bundles in spine.
