| Deaf in one ear but MRI scan says 'everything's normal' |
(I'm not a professional user of MRI, just someone who has recently had an MRI scan and is puzzled at the result. I hope it's still OK to post here).rnrnSeveral months ago I received a violent blow to the side of my head, and ever since, I have been totally deaf in the ear on that side. Even worse, instead of hearing anything in that ear, I'm getting a constant really loud whistling sound in that ear. As you can imagine, this is causing me a great amount of distress.rnrnI was given a CT scan which showed nothing, so then I was given an MRI scan, and I recently got the result. To my great surprise (and dismay) the letter i got from the specialist said that the scan showed that 'everything was perfectly normal'. My first reaction was to phone him and ask just how I could be totally deaf in one ear if the scan showed everything was normal, but I live in the UK, and you're not even allowed to approach a specialist directly - you have to get your doctor to do this for you. In view of how overstretched our health service is here, it could be months before I can get any answers.rnrnThis is why I'm posting here. I don't know anything about MRI scanners and all the Internet searches I've done just come up with answers to things like 'are they safe?' and 'how noisy are they?'rnrnSo can anyone tell me how an MRI scan can show there's nothing wrong with me when I'm totally deaf in an ear that had nothing wrong with it before that blow to the head?rnrnAny answers will be very gratefully received.

| ARMRIT in California? |
Im not a fan of anyone being overly critical of one or the other. Personally, I'm an ARRT tech certified in R and MR. I know Jim Coffin was trying to get AMRIT off the griound decades ago, and i thought "no way is this joker going to get this to fly ". That's not to say that Jim is a joker, but I knew he was one guy fighting a monopoly.
Let me say that he's done a hell of a job. He's gained more traction than I ever expected. I've known a bunch of his techs here in NY and I have a pretty positive view of them. I presently work with one and he's one of the best techs I've worked with. I'd let him scan my own wife.
On the other hand, I've been the manager of outpatient MRI at a major medical center and I wouldn't let most of the techs scan my cat.
I don't think you NEED to have a radiography background to be a good MRI Tech, but the experience from a clinical perspective has made me a far more well rounded technologist, but that's just me. I would have hired a qualified AMRIT tech, but my hospital didn't allow it. FWIW, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, one of the country's premier cancer center will hire AMRIT techs.
Ultimately, it's the individual doing the scan that makes the difference. I do think ARRT Rad Techs doing MR should get certified within a fixed period of time.....ie 6 mos-1 year. I have witnessed while lot of "button pushers".
My personal above to anyone considering a career in the field, I would go the RT route, as it is more widely accepted AND what is missed in the discussion is that you are a lot more marketable because you have the opportunity to learn and perform other modalities. There's a caveat. If AMRIT is legal in your state and they're hiring, I wouldn't hesitate to go that route. I just think that ARRT affords you more options.
Both have good and bad techs

I Have had chronic migraines and vertigo for about the last 15 years of my life. It has progressively gotten worse over the years and my doctors have not found any solid reason to give me for these symptoms. I have even been hospitalised several times from completely passing out when my dizziness and headache got very intense. Recently in the last couple of months, I have had pains in the back of my neck added to the symptoms I already have so I went to get an MRI for my head and neck. My doctors say the head look fine and that the problem I have been having is from my nose. My symptoms are very severe and there has to be more to this than just that so I am turning to the internet to seek a second opinion. If there is any further insight you can provide me about my scans it will be most helpful. if you can help please email me and i can send you more scan information

| Is It Illegal? |
I'm A registered CT tech that has a little MRI knowledge. I work third shift in a hospital and they have me doing what every MRI's are ordered out of the ER. My question is it illegal for me to be doing the MRI's by myself with no other registered tech on the campus at the time?

| Question on an image |
HirnrnI'm new here and I am not looking for someone to read my MRI, just an opinion. I had a thoracic MRI done and the results came back as normal wear and tear. Is it possible for the radiologist to miss something if he isn't looking for a specific item?rnI am seeing my Dr. tomorrow and don't want to show him the attached if it isn't anything to be worried about. I didn't find this until I used the invert feature on the viewer. Should I be concerned?rnThank you.rn
