Mri scan images
Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan images
mri-scan
Yes, an MRI can produce images radio waves and unlike conventional x-ray examinations and computed tomography (CT) scans, MRI does not depend on ionizing radiation. It seems, generally, the differentiation of abnormal tissue from normal tissue is often better with MRI then x-ray, CT and echo.
But the state-of-art CT scan, slice 64 and higher has reduced radiation.
Hope this helps.
Hi all. I recently had a back mri scan with the use of contrast dye as I had a discectomy November 2018 . I paid for the scan image on cd but haven’t had the results yet. Obviously I’m not medically trained so have no idea what the images look like however I wondered if anyone know what the few blobs are on a image that are next to the spine? As they came back as a white glow.
I wonder if I should be asking for another CT scan again so that it can be compared if I get the MRI can we believe that one if it says I am fine?
The guy wants to do a MUGA. I've had four last one in 1999 EF 74% all heart function improved. All my EF's from the echo's are coming back between 55 and 65%. Why the MUGA?
I should make another appointment with him and discuss this or send a letter. Why the MUGA?
Just to clarify, my question was - Are T1 or T2 weighted images/sequences/scans necessary to see lesions? On my MRI report it says that the T1/T2 sequence was used on my cervical spine but it doesn't specifically say that on the protocol for my brain. That was my confusion but, according to shell, it looks like the protocol was good even though it doesn't specifically say T1 or T2 was used on the brain scan.
Volume of the t-1-hypointense lesions in the juxtacortical, periventricular, infratentorial and deep white brain regions from the patients scan. Lesions appearing hypointesnse in T1 an hyperintense in T2 Flair MR images. Brain Structure Volumes: The pink color in the normative percentile column indicates a brain tissue volume about the 95th percentile or a ventricle volume below the 5th percentile, these values are outside the normal range, but not necessarily of diagnosic concern.
Can someone please explain the following MRI report from the Neurologist to my GP
This patients MRI brain scan shows some diffuse high T2 and flare signals within the Pons leaving a central rim of normality around the outside, I have revieved the MRI myself and is almost certainly vascular disease
thanks if anyone can explain me this in simple laymans terms
The characteristics of the lesion as seen on your magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI scan) do not correlate with that of a malignant lesion. A computerised tomography scan (CT scan) and a bone scan can be done to confirm the same but these investigations are optional.
Otherwise, your symptoms of tachycardia fit into the diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The cause of this syndrome is not fully known.
So I have had a CT scan, MRI and Ultrasound done on my liver. It is fatty, enlarged and there appears to be a cyst and lesion on it. The MRI was the most recent and it was compared to the other two. I got the report in my portal last night and don't see the doctor for a while yet for follow up. Im curious what all this stuff means other than what I already know.
Liver: Mild hepatomegaly, measuring 20.8 cm craniocaudal.
The vice versa is true for MRI. MRI can produce images in any plane but CT scan cannot. CT scan uses X-ray imaging whereas MRI uses radio waves and magnets. Radiation exposure is moderate in CT scan and there is no radiation exposure in MRI.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else. Take care!
It makes no difference whether it is closed bore or not. The imaging principle remains the same.
It is the contrast agent that enhances the images.
While not all MRIs require contrast, it can be very beneficial in certain cases to show certain anatomy more clearly. It improves diagnostic accuracy, especially in cases of certain tumors, blood vessels, inflammation or infection.
MRI contrast agents do not contain iodine and rarely cause allergic reactions or other problems.
Hi,
Ischemic white matter changes is a very common finding in the MRI scan. The most common cause of such changes is hypertension. Other causes include migraine, stroke and inflammatory processes like Lupus, multiple sclerosis etc. Please consult a neurologist for a complete neurological examination and correlation of the findings with the MRI report. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
hi,
my husband aged 36 yrs, had mild numbness on his foot constantly for many days, he had an mri scan done, in that report some thing related to T2 flair images,but the doctor says that it is nowhere related to the numbness in foot, but it should be furthur examined by CT scan,
i m just copying the data on the report, and doctor advised to take Neurontin - 300 mg tablets daily
is it advisable to take this medicine, and plz let me know whether it is considered as serious disorder
There is a sm
I'm a 25 year old female who had an MRI done because of constant headaches and migraines. My GP discussed the finding with me and decided it was best for me to see a Neurologist. Here are the findings:
A 1.0cm focus of bright T2 signal is identified in the left mid pericallosal white matter. No other lesions are identified. This area is low to intermediate signal on T1-weighted images. There is no evidence of surrounding edema or mass effect. The corpus callosum is well formed.
