REGULAR MRI SCANS

[daisy11]

Just wondering whether one has to have more than one scan a year? I had one done in April after having TIA (3 weeks later) only requested by Hept department as Haem forgot?

It is just interesting to know

Hi Daisy,

I think it depends on the doc and what they doing the mri for the last one i has was about a year after my stroke. this may be something we can put as a poll if you like

Hi yes that would be brilliant - its just that the Heptologist (another Dept) said he couldnt believe I had not had a MRI after have the TIA, if it wasnt for him, I would be still waiting. Also looking on Stroke Association it said you are suppose to have a MRI in so many days following attacks.

Would be interesting how many people do have their MRI

thanks

If you get more symptoms, like a fit, they can't explain then its time for another MRI.
