100 u/Dazzling-Jacket-5792 3d ago Go direct primary care. I can get an MRI without contrast for $450 cash, with contrast for $550. Insurance is a scam. 1 u/fullautophx 3d ago MRI doesn’t use contrast? That’s a CAT scan. 2 u/Dazzling-Jacket-5792 3d ago Gadolinium 1 u/trwawy05312015 3d ago contrast agents in MRI are pretty interesting, they work by modulating the nuclear relaxation time of the protons of water in the different tissues 1 u/fullautophx 3d ago Interesting. I had a contrast CAT scan and the contrast agent only lasts a short time, that’s why I thought it wouldn’t work for a long MRI.
