@Hip Thank you for making this thread! First post really helped me understand the reasoning for getting the MRI one way or the other.
Does anyone know if Dr. Bolognese is capable and willing to diagnose from Upright MRIs with flexion and extension, even though he seems to recommend supine? I'm doing my research before my next regular neurologist appointment because I'm going to ask her if she can order the imaging. I'd prefer to get whichever is most widely used so that I can get more than one opinion, which sounds like upright with flexion and extension. But Dr. B is the closest and most convenient of the CCI surgeons to me, at <1 hour drive away, so it would be nice if he can look at this type of MRI too.
