Does anyone know if the 3T captures enhanced images of the rectum, tailbone, and colon?

OK, I'm not a radiologist but my guess is that with the right settings, it could be made to enhance certain types of tissue -- either nerves or other soft tissues. So if you are wanting to enhance soft tissue such as rectum and colon it might need a different setting than to enhance nerves. The tailbone might show up just fine on a simple x-ray (according to web md http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/t ... cyx-injury).

Does anyone know which doctor in Phoenix does the 3T MRI?

Dr. Hibner's radiologist is Olga Kalinkin.

Hello,

does anyone have a contact for someone who can send a protocol/instructions how to set up MRI 3T to it work as it suppose to? I'm patient from Czech Republic and don't know anyone here to know how it works as it should.

Thank you

Hi Verona,
Your best bet would be to contact a hospital with this equipment and ask to speak with the head of Radiology.

Best regards,
Karyn

Does anyone have an email address for Dr Olga Kalinkin ?

My impression was that Dr. Hibner didn't base a lot of his PN/PNE diagnosis on MRI/MRN results no matter which doctor did it. He seems to base much of his diagnosis on Loretta's PT evaluation.

I am curious how many PN patients used the results of a Potter MRI as part of a treatment (including surgical) plan or decision and if people think her MRI helped in treatment outcome. I know someone who improved without PN surgery after the Potter MRI indicated a definite entrapment and I am trying to figure out the true value of her imaging/reports. The MRI report I got from Dr. Hibner seemed much less detailed than many of the Potter reports and even my MRN from many years ago. I am trying to sort out what a doctor can really "see" on the images and what is simply unknown or even guesswork.

Agree with you Stephanie. The Phoenix MRI is much less informative.
