lytic Bone lesion & MRI with out contrast
I have issue with my left wrist (in movement & it is swollen as well). My orthopedic surgeon identified lytic lession and suggested me MRI without Contrast & Isotope bone scan
Isotope bone scan has following output
Active bone lesion - distal end of left radius
and they recommend Biopsy for further diagnose
whereas MRI test is concerned, drama is going on actually,
MRI specialist insisting that i should have MRI with contrast whereas my Dr twice said , "i shouldn't" . I am in fix what to do, Can any one guide me.
What type of this lesion is either tumor or Cancer? Definitely i 'll visit as soon i 'll get both reports.

I would think imaging would be better with the contrast, but I would go with the Ortho's recommendations.
It shouldn't be that painful; probably more discomfort than pain, but some patients have a low pain threshold.
One thing i am afraid of, is Bone biopsy is touch and painful as compare to other biopsy?
