Title: Where to get a T2* MRI?
Post by: hopefulheart on July 23, 2010, 03:35:50 PM

I just found out that Children's Memorial in Chicago will not take our insurance so I need to know another clinic that does a T2* MRI.  I have no idea where there is another facility and my doctor is out of town.  Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!  That helped me a lot!  Gabriel doesn't have Thal and does not have a diagnosis but has the iron overlaod issue.
