Advice & Tips
If you are claustraphobic, ask for an "open-air" MRI. Otherwise, the MRI machines are like tubes. A typical MRI is fairly expensive...so shop around because some centers are less expensive. However, most insurance companies cover an MRI as a diagnostic procedure in determining the location of and/or further progression of plaques/lesions in the brain and spine.

About MRI (Procedures)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the structure and function of the body and provides much greater contrast between the different soft tissues of the body than does computed tomography scans (CT Scan).
