Previous MRI

I think you might stuggle to get a copy of something from 20 years ago, but in theory all you need to do is phone the imaging unit where you had it done and ask for it. You will probably have to pay something though.

If the MRI 4 years ago was done at the same hospital as this time then the neuro should be able to access it very easily - they are all held on the computer system and I wouldn't have thought it would have been archived yet. Make sure and tell him of course so he knows to look for it.

Actually, the neuro may be happy to request a copy of the CT scan so you don't have to pay anything - worth asking.

hi if you can't get a copy of the older scan you should still be able to get a copy of the radiographers report. I had probs getting an MRI scan from 94 and it seems they detroyed it ..without giving the patient the option of having it..surely cheaper to post it to patient than destroy it.lol
is likely the consultant would find and prev scans etc useful..

Yep, I'd phone. And if you're not convinced the message got through, you can always send a letter too.
