Hi @penn, I haven't had an MR Neurography and thank you for helping me with my lifetime bucket list of learning something new every day. While you wait for those with experience having an MR Neurogram, I thought I would share what I have learned.

"What is the difference between MRI and MR neurogram?
Conventional MRIs can sometimes show nerve abnormalities, but MR neurography imaging is more sensitive, since it is specially tailored to image nerves. MR neurography uses advanced techniques to depict small nerves that may not be visualized on standard MRI exams."

There is also a webinar that explains it's use - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i72PIJhQLcs

Thank you for this information on MR Neurogram! I think I need this and will ask my new neurologist about this.

I laughed out loud John. My grandmother convinced me I could not go to sleep unless and until I had learned something new that day. I never fail and I too am adding MR neurography today. I need that to image the nerves in my ribs which still scream when I take a deep breath. My first Rheumy was from Hospital for Special Surgery. Great place!!

Penn please keep us posted!! And
Best of luck that you learn something useful.
