Confused: Does an MRN use the same machine as a 3t MRI?

Post by John1089 »

Sorry guys. A newbie to all this.

As stated in subject, does the MRN and 3T MRI use the same machine, but just different frequencies/power or something?

Thanks!

John, the posts on the first page of this thread (especially Hermajesty's and Ezer's posts) might answer your question.

Best,

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

It's the same 3T MRI machine but uses different software.
Left testicle pain since 2008. Left sciatica 2010-2012. Failed left epididectomy, orchiectomy, botox injections, nerve blocks and internal physical therapy. Genital branch of genitofemoral and perineal branch of pudendal nerve cut. L5-S1 microdiscectomy cured sciatica. Dorsal Root Ganglion nerve stimulator failed to help and was removed. I have had 4 pudendal nerve blocks, two from Dr. Poree worked for 2 hrs. The ONLY break from pain ever.
