My head feels like its about to explode!!! =[ Help please!!!!?!


Question: My head feels like its about to explode!!! =[ Help please!!!!!?
do you seriously have to say something outrageous in the question to get people to respond to a question!?!?!?
ive asked this 3 times now and have gotten one response!.!.!.from a 13 year old!.!.!.
PLEASE, this is no joke!.!.!.and I am literally running out of time!.
RESPOND!.


If a CT scan and an MRI of the brain, both come back normal!.
Is it reasonable to request to have an MRI with contrast!?

Is it possible the MRI with contrast will show something the CT scan or MRI without contrast didnt!?

I am hoping for a good amount of responses, this is very important, but I need knowledgeable responses!. Please and thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Magnetic resonance imaging
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"MRI" redirects here!. For other uses, see MRI (disambiguation)!.

Para-sagittal MRI of the headMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI), is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the structure and function of the body!. It provides detailed images of the body in any plane!. MRI provides much greater contrast between the different soft tissues of the body than computed tomography (CT) does, making it especially useful in neurological (brain), musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and oncological (cancer) imaging!. Unlike CT, it uses no ionizing radiation, but uses a powerful magnetic field to align the nuclear magnetization of (usually) hydrogen atoms in water in the body!. Radiofrequency fields are used to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization, causing the hydrogen nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic field detectable by the scanner!. This signal can be manipulated by additional magnetic fields to build up enough information to construct an image of the body!.

MRI is a relatively new technology, which has been in use for little more than 30 years (compared with over 110 years for X-ray radiography)!. The first MR Image was published in 1973[1] and the first study performed on a human took place on July 3, 1977!.[2]

Magnetic resonance imaging was developed from knowledge gained in the study of nuclear magnetic resonance!. In its early years the technique was referred to as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI)!. However, as the word nuclear was associated in the public mind with ionizing radiation exposure it is generally now referred to simply as MRI!. Scientists still use the term NMRI when discussing non-medical devices operating on the same principles!. The term Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) is also sometimes used!. One of the contributors to modern MRI, Paul Lauterbur, originally named the technique zeugmatography, a Greek term meaning "that which is used for joining"!.[1] The term referred to the interaction between the static, radiofrequency, and gradient magnetic fields necessary to create an image, but this term was not adopted!.

1) If you are not satisfied with your doctor, find another one!.

2) Contrast is only ordered for certain things and you may not meet the criteria!.

3)Call the radiologist that read your MRI and ask him!. After all, its his specialty!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

if youre CT and MRI scans came back okay then you shouldn't worry!. it's all in your head, you're making yourself feel sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
