Mr. & Mrs. Marks

Hello Brandon,

Here is our story: My husband William F. Marks had a field of vision exam in August 2023. His eye doctor saw an anomaly where the same quadrant in each eye was blank and was concerned it might be the sign of a stroke. (Bill is 86 years old.) He has no symptoms of any kind or problems with his vision. She asked him to contact a neurologist and suggested an MRI.

He attempted to get an MRI at three different locations. But because of the configuration of his head/neck they were unable to close the mask over his face. They tried propping him up with pillows but that did not work. Doctors suggested CT scans, but they did not provide enough detail.

We found an upright, seated open MRI in New Jersey. With much force they were able to close the mask, but it was quite painful. Because of the discomfort he was unable to hold the position, and the MRI was not very clear. His doctors are still recommending that he get another MRI.

Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide.

Regards, Christine Marks
