Hi , I know that you asked this question a few years ago, but just in case someone else has the same question here's some information about MRI. A 3-tesla MRI machine is stronger than a 1.5-tesla machine. The 3-tesla or 3T machine will produce more detailed and sharper imagines. This is important for the diagnosis and monitoring of MS. The next stronger MRI machine is a 7-tesla; these are primarily found at research centers.
How are you doing now? Did you have follow-up MRI scans that showed additional lesions and eventually receive an MS diagnosis?
