Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Good question!!! We have been asking the same thing!!! 's doctors want to do more invasive procedures, like bone marrow biopsy, but when we ask about ct scans or mri's they said it most likely wouldn't show anything. What would it hurt? (Thats right, extra cost for the insurance company!!!) Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 MRI's and CT scans are NOT diagnostic tools for . If a child has a genetic mutation for a specific genetic disorder they may use these to see if there are brain changes like atrophy or increased brain pressure. THIS does not occur in because is much more benign. I am not sure what you are expecting to find with an MRI or CT scan? has an inflammatory effect with the Cytokines etc. but none of that is shown through scans. It will show in SED rate and ESR etc. Fran Fran A Bulone Mom to ph 7 yrs old Waxhaw, NC Owner & Moderator Group <> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
