Question 1

i had an mri. the interpretation on the report said. a single minimal area of increased singnal intensity is identified within the anterior  aspect of the right insular cortex on the t2 weighted and flair sequencs. several mucosal thickening is identified

Accepted Answer

Brain MR: It is difficult to answer your question without looking at the entire MRI. Increased signal intensity on T2 and FLAIR means that there is a bright region within the right insular cortex, which usually means there is either fluid or less commonly blood product in this region, but this is nonspecific without knowing the findings on the rest of your MRI. Mucosal thickening=sinus walls inflamed.

Question 2

where can i get an interpretation of mri results?

Accepted Answer

Radiologist: Generally you want to review your MRI results with the doctor that ordered the exam. If you are unable to do this, call the center where your MRI was done or your local radiology dept.

Question 5

whos opinion weighs more with final interpretation of cardiac mri the radiologist or the cardiologist. the radiologist said i have scarring the cardiologist said i dont, whos opinion is more valid?

Accepted Answer

: Your cardiologist is presumably more involved with your medical care than a radiologist interpreting the results of one procedure. You should speak with your cardiologist what they mean by scarring,  however, to get a better feeling for what is going on with your heart. Good luck.

Question 6

how easy or difficult will it be to give an accurate interpretation of the brain/spine mri images done at another facility? i have been informed that each radiological facilities have different protocols/sequences and runs programs differently; therefore,

Accepted Answer

It : It should be fairly straight forward.  Some radiology practices have a policy against providing an official over-read, while others will routinely provide this service.  You will need to have your physician request an official reading.  They will then import your images into their system and read your study.  The techniques used to acquire the images may be slightly different; however, rendering an accurate reading should be easy.

Question 7

my mris generate vastly different interpretations.  some see tumors, lesions, hyperintensities.  others see nothing.  lesions are diagnosed as everything imaginable. no objective standard?  what's up?

Accepted Answer

Medicine: Is definitely not an exact science and the interpretation of radiologic studies can be quite variable.  Discuss with your doctor so that the possibilities can be narrowed down depending on your history exam and other tests.

Question 8

what is a mri?

Accepted Answer

An imaging procedure: Mri is an imaging procedure which provides the radiologist with detailed images of the body.  The machine uses a very large magnet to help produce the images.  There is no ionizing radiation.  During the procedure, the machine will make many loud noises.  Most patients choose to wear headphones and listen to music to avoid some of the noise.

Question 9

what is a cine mri?

Accepted Answer

Motion sensitive MRI: A cine MRI is a special type of MRI image in which a series of static images are obtained at different times and then played back as a movie.  Cine MRI is helpful in evaluating tissues that move such as the heart, flowing blood, or cerebral spinal fluid.  It is occasionally used in evaluating bowel, joint or muscle motion.
