Question 1

my mri shows hypolastic right vertibal artery and mild irreularity along the bilaeral segment of internal carotid artery?

Accepted Answer

Instructions: I suggest to discuss this result with Doctor who prescribe this test for you because all MRI result requires correlation with clinical presentation. And you do not provide any clinical data.

Question 2

i recently had an mri on the brain due to headaches.   would this also show the carotid arteries ?

Accepted Answer

No: No the MRI will not show the carotid arteries. It evaluates brain matter, not vasculature. MRA of head and neck will evaluate vasculature. US of the carotids is often done for evaluation.

Question 3

low b/p cholestrol good trygylerides 0.8 hdl 1.7 /ldl under 3 non smoker crp is under 5 /esr 12 -uk tests/weigh 105 lbs /5.2 tall female age 62 heart calcium score 0 but mri angio show moderate stenosis carotid arteries in neck. v good diet excercise?

Accepted Answer

: CAC score of zero virtually excludes development of coronary artery blockages in the next several years, but there can be a disconnect with carotid artery plaque formation. Moderate carotid artery stenosis isn't a great predictor of strokes, but I would consider taking daily low dose aspirin and consulting a vascular surgeon to advise you.on how.often to repeat carotid artery studies.

Question 4

what cavernous carotid artery flow void on my mri mean?

Accepted Answer

Need CT angiogram: Flow void on MRI means that in flow is not seen with MRI technique

Accepted Answer

: The flow voids is a radiological term indicating rapid flow of the blood as it should be in a young individual.

Question 7

can tear in vertebral and carotid arteries ever be seen on a cervical mri? or does it have to be mra or mrv?

Accepted Answer

Arterial wall: To see detail in an arterial wall you need to have an arteriographic study. A regular MRI would not likely show this.

Question 8

which is the most accurate test to measure stenosis of
the carotid arteries  expressed in percentage or grading , ct ,mri, cta or ultrsound?

Accepted Answer

Depends: CTA is probably the most accurate to evaluate Internal Carotid artery blockages.

Question 9

Aneurysm : It is a small dilitation of the artery and should cause no problems. Good Luck

Question 10

Accepted Answer

You are afraid: You may have good reason or not, but i think your doctors can help you understand your conditions or lack of disease better. Ask them for information that is clear to you and also for a referral to a therapist to help you manage your disease anxiety. Understanding = help. If possible, avoid meds that will have side effects as they may just add to your worries. Best wishes.
