T3 is the best model for this. No contrast needed.

A "3T MRI" is generally considered the best MRI machine that can often produce high-quality images without requiring contrast, particularly when imaging the brain and musculoskeletal system, due to its superior magnetic field strength which allows for detailed visualization of tissues without the need for additional enhancement; however, the specific needs of the scan will determine if contrast is necessary even with a 3T machine.
Key points about 3T MRI:
High resolution images: Provides detailed images of smaller structures compared to lower field strength machines.
Faster scan times: Can often produce scans faster than lower field strength machines.
Best for specific areas: Particularly useful for imaging the brain, spine, and musculoskeletal system.
Important considerations:
Patient comfort:
Some patients may experience more discomfort due to the stronger magnetic field.
Clinical need:
While a 3T MRI can often produce good images without contrast, depending on the diagnosis, contrast may still be required in certain situations.
