I am going to do a new MRI because I will see a surgeon soon, he required me to bring one MRI , one CT and one Flexion x-ray. My Pain Management doctor required this MRI for me to insurance and already got authorization from my insurance company, Maybe she concerned about I already did two times MRI during past year.So she just required “ Without contrast” in order to let insurance approve it easily. Because right now every time the Insurance will call her to make sure if the MRI is pretty nessasary when she had requierd. But Now I just wonder if a “Without contrast” MRI is still good enough for Surgeon to use in Surgery?

Thanks!
 
Contrast is needed for seeing certain states and processes inside our spine.

I would not accept MRI without contrast, because I want to be 100% sure about condition of my spine.
 
I just had surgery and my Dr. required a MRI and CT. Contrast was not required and both were accepted by my insurance.
 
First, I called my doctor office , his secretary said the doctor doesn't require
the contrast MRI, but do require the MRT and CT both. then I called my Pain Management doctor who required the authorization for me from insurance , She said my insurance will 100% not approve both and only give one ( MRI or CT) so I gave up to want to get both right now . I think if the doctor wants CT when I see him, I can ask him to issue are requiest file , than I go back to ask insurance. Thanks!
