Default virtical mri

There is a palce called up and open MRI in Richardson, TX. I have followed up on. They take a .70 tesla with or without contrast with you sitting up right in an open MRI. Most MRI are taken lying down. This does not show the compression that you truly have. Sometimes by the time you can see buldging discs or never impengment on an MRI it really bad. Go to "Up Right" or Up and Open MRI in Richardson Tx and see the difference for youself. Some PHD surgeons know that MRI don't always show what is going on.
