Hi Doc,

I read the disclosure about the contrast agent and it said exactly what I reported and the tech really did say what I said she did which I was thankful for. Maybe it's a new contrast agent. The disclosure did say that it could accumulate in the brain and body and that the long-term effects were unknown. I'm only a psychologist by training but I do understand the importance of your point and I would never communicate anything that was intended to mislead or might keep others from getting help they needed. I was dismayed that the doctor did not discuss this issue before the MRI. I guess the MRI did rule out a tumor but without the contrast the doctor said she could not determine if it was carotidynia, her suspicion.
