68. I think it's a bs release

CAVEAT: I'm not a Doctor.

What was not released is *why* they did this test. Sometimes an MRI is used to determine brain structure to show atrophy patterns, strokes, etc. Sometimes they add an MRA (arterial version) to see if there are clots or other arterial issues that could be causing dementia. Sometimes they add an MRV to test for outflow issues, which are sometimes associated with some dementia conditions.

Ie, they use an MRI when other tests or symptoms are present, and they are looking for an answer. It's not the primary go-to diagnostic device.
