Investigating a possible neck/CFS connection. I had a supine brain and neck MRI (I believe it was either 1.2 or 1.5T). No evidence of brainstem compromise, but then I've read that a 3T is recommended, but also an upright with flexion/extension/rotation- however the only upright MRI center I've found near me uses a 0.6T magnet. My dr is willing to write the order for this, but it will be out of network/cash price. And if the magnet is only 0.6T, I have to wonder if it would even be worth it? Or if I should try and find a T3 which I assume would be supine.
