mri-scan
It was only at the beginning of this year that I decided to see my GP about it, it was very emotional for me to discuss but she advised me to have some blood tests and a MRI scan, which I did. I initially thought these could be absence seizures but they were ruled out when the MRI scan came back normal and the blood tests were fine, revealing only that I had a thyroid issue. The GP has recommended I see a Neurologist but am afraid of what it could be. I just want to stop zoning out.
Most doctors won't do another U/S after your anatomy scan unless there's a reason for it. Mine did a growth scan at 36 weeks (my previous OB didn't, and most don't) you can ask your doctor if he/she does another one. If you're having no complications it's likely your baby is just fine!
This headache has been constant now for over 4 months. Just wondering if anyone thinks I should have my mri checked again for a chiari malformation as the way people describe their headache sounds so like my one. I've been told the it's not the cyst. Read it can be missed on the mri.

I had an MRI of the brain back in May, to investigate various cognitive / neurological problems I've been experiencing since the start of 2009 (mild confusion, memory problems, muscle twitching, etc). This came back normal (I have neither copies of the scans , nor the radiographers report - just a letter from neurologist saying all findings were normal).
i guys I recently had a ct scan as I have a sore neck and pretty consistent headache which showed I have a mild obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to chiari -1 type malformation. What does that even mean.
Its two weeks until I get a MRI done then I see the specialist. i live in victoria and im going to see
Dr kate drummond.
Just a few words of advice (some of you probably already know) if the doctor wants to schedule you for a c,t spine and brain scan with and without contrasts at one time. Don't try it. Split them up if possible. I was in that machine for a little over two hours. I had to get out. Finished the contrast the next day. What a terrible experience!
An ultrasound and an uptake scan are different tests.
:o)
Didn't know FNA's were so expensive though...ouch.
did they order a follow up with an MRI ? this usually gives a better picture on what it is. I can tell you that most lesions on the liver are hemangiomas which are benign and nothing to worry about.
It's not a cost issue. My doctor doesn't want to send me to MRI nor CT scan. She says that i don't need to do MRI, because CT didn't showed anyting abnormal, and that i am too young for serious disorders. I find this strange, because it was 8 years ago, and i assume that something could changed. Or maybe i'm wrong?
is an MRI or an ultrasound as accurate as a CT scan in determining if the spot on my liver is a hemangioma and not cancerous? Other than cost, is there a reason I should have a CT scan instead of an MRI? I would rather not have the radiation exposure of a CT scan if an MRI will produce adequate data. Furthermore, should I see a specialist instead of my PCP about this?
Thank you!
As the CT scan report was normal and since there was no MRI scan facility in the hospital the patient was not shifted immediately to another one. The doctor of the hospital to which he was later admitted mentioned about the delay. that is why i felt so. Do you think that the CT scan report which mentioned "brain-stem normal" was correct?
He gave his diagnosis and then I had a MRI scan. I was young at the time so didn’t really see the seriousness of it and my parents couldn’t afford a follow up scan. I took medication (cataflam mostly for the pain if it was serious) and I stopped Ballet lessons and then stopped basketball as well. The problems with my back stopped then and has been ok for the past few years. Now however, it has started up again and won’t seem to go away even with rest and cataflam.
