As I understand it shows activity at the lesion site. So new lesions show up well. For those of us with recurrent TM this can mean the difference between a whole new attack and a flare of an old lesion. Old lesions can flare and will also light up on dye. New lesions at new locations can mean a lot diagnostically. I had three MRI's in the beginning of my diagnosis that showed nothing. The fourth one included dye and cha ching there it was like a little light bulb. And don't my fillings and caps look dandy too I must say!
