What Does Sheath Cyst In MRI Finding Indicate?

Hi, I had an MRI 20 days ago. They found a sheath cyst. My family doctor has referred me to neurologist and ordered an MRI with contract as per the radiologist suggestion. When scheduling the MRI with contract, they advised my first MRI was too old and would to have a first do another regular MRI first before they would do an MRI with contrast. Why is that? The first one was less than a month old.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
This is done to make sure that the cyst didnt disappear or change in size, a month duration is not so long but still not so short. Another MRI will be confirmatory also.
Best regads,
Dr. Ahmad
