Question 1

what does no mass no lesion detected on brain mir finding?

Accepted Answer

MRI doesn't explain: "No mass, no lesion detected" in a Radiology report usually means a normal brain MRI scan. I assume that the scan was ordered for a reason (i.e., symptoms). There are many symptoms (I would say MOST symptoms) that prompt an MRI scan &amp; cannot be explained by it. MRI looks for ANATOMIC problems - tumors, bleeding, etc. The problem here is FUNCTIONAL - the nerves function incorrectly. TTYD who orderd

Question 2

mri of the brain without contrast?

Accepted Answer

Maybe safer in some: Gadolinium contrast could potentially cause kidney complications on rare occasion.  Mri without contrast will reveal areas of atrophy, stroke, bleeding, tumors, hydrocephalus, etc, but will not clearly show certain ms lesions, aneurysms, avm's, some inflammatory problems, so, always discuss with your doctor as to why an ordered MRI might be done in a variety of ways.

Question 4

mri what does brain volume loss mean ?

Accepted Answer

Atrophy: 'volume loss' means that the brain has a smaller overall volume than normal. This is usually due to atrophy, which can be caused by small vessel atherosclerotic disease, alcohol intake, drug abuse, or a combination of the above.

Question 6

are there any harmful effects of a mri on the brain?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: An MRI is a test that uses a magnetic field rather than conventional radiation and so is real safe.  The largest contraindication/risk is if you have a metallic implant that might migrate in the magnetic field, but this is usually carefully screened before doing the mri.  Thank you.

Question 7

what does it mean when you receive an abnormal mri of the brain?

Accepted Answer

Something Different: An abnormal MRI can mean many things.  In general, it means that there is something there that the radiologist does not normally find.  It could indicate a disease finding or just an unusual finding that has no effect on your health.

Question 8

i had an mri on my brain,now they want a cpa scan done. does this mean they found something?

Accepted Answer

?CTA: Suspect advice to have CT angiogram, to evaluate large vessels in neck and base of brain.  You could ask whether your MRI showed some suspicious area, but often the vascular test is added due to an unexpected NORMAL MRI, just to be complete and safe.

Question 9

mri results showed "no significant abnormalities" in brain. does this mean no abnormalities? is it a good sign?

Accepted Answer

In general: "no significant abnormalities" is generally interpreted as meaning that you have a test result that was not found to have any clinically significant problems.  That is always a good sign.

Question 10

i have had two separate mri on my brain and each time a white lesion pops up on my brain. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Mri: White lesion on MRI could have many meanings, depending on reading interpretation, your symptoms, reason for test, etc. Your doctor can go over results of MRI with you since he/she knows your case.
