Doesnt there need to be material in ones skull to have it show on an MRI? Jeff B -----Original Message----- From: Michael J.

Like I said, denial is NOT a river in Egypt. Sorry Trey, but you have lesions, you just haven't been through the right MRI scanner yet. Kindof ironic that I'm almost your age, have also had my brain scanned, and will undergo another scan this Saturday, after a mere 60-ft dive on air for 45 minutes. Before and after- dive imaging has revealed some clear differences, and imagine all this after a dive profile that pales in comparison to the extreme stuff you do Trey. It's all in the name of scientific research, of course, and we're just beginning to scratch the surface. Don't be scared though, after all, you Do It Right and are immune to problems <g>.
