Question 1

what is mediastinal prominence?

Accepted Answer

Center of ribcage: sticks out a bit. cannot say in your particular case, but generally, it is normal and does not mean anything. I guess it can occur if someone is too thin; I'm stretching a bit here to say there is any significance.

Question 2

what is mild prominence of the cortical sulci?

Accepted Answer

Brain wrinkles: "sulci" refer to the the "wrinkles" on the surface of your brain. Being more prominent likely means that the brain is more atrophic/aged than usual.

Question 3

what does mild prominence of the common duct mean?

Accepted Answer

Talk with your doc!: I believe you are referring to the common bile duct in the abdomen. This duct (tube) joins the hepatic duct from the liver and the cystic duct from the gall bladder. The common duct is sometimes obstructed by gallstones, making it wider as bile tries to pass by the obstruction. But don't believe MY interpretation! This is far too important to second guess. Ask your doctor.

Question 4

prominence of the sulcal and cisternal pattern is slightly more than expected for my age? (23) should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal MRI: ABNORMAL MRI: this subtle abnormality can be seen in a patient with MIGRAINES/AFTER HEAD TRAUMA IE MVA/EARLY NPH . If you are having symptoms of unsteady gait/HA/vertigo/bladder issues., follow up with your doctor to get full exam and labs. And discuss the next steps in your work up and treatment options.

Question 5

what does prominence of periuterine vasculature mean?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic congestion: It basically means that the veins around the uterus are more enlarged and possibly not working quite as well as they should, causing some congestion. This can cause dull, aching pain, worse at the end of the day or after long periods of standing. Can be caused by pregnancy or increased estrogen which can cause vasodilation. Embolization, NSAIDs, hormonal therapy, and accupuncture can help.

Question 6

prominence of bilateral perihilar bronchovascular markings is noted... please say what does this mean in common wods?

Accepted Answer

X-RAY FINDINGS: The hilum is an area of the lung where the breathing tubes, blood vessels, &amp; many lymph nodes all come together.  Findings could represent acute infection like pneumonia, inflammation, malignancy, chronic conditions, or nothing at all.  I would certainly follow up promptly with the person who ordered the x-ray for an explanation of possibilities in the context of your current medical history.

Question 7

after i lost 11kg (gym and diet) i noticed there is bony prominence in the end of spinal (the top of butt) 
no pain  ?

Accepted Answer

Coccyx: I am glad you are losing weight.  Sounds like you have found your coccyx.

Question 8

how can i fic my lumbar prominence?

Accepted Answer

Scoliosis: What people call a lumbar prominence is also called scoliosis. The only FIX for this is to have surgery. While back braces and exercises may alleviate back pain, they won't straighten the curve in your spine, particularly not when you're already an adult. I would recommend you see an orthopaedic spine surgeon who has treated scoliosis previously. He or she can talk to you about risks vs. benefits.

Question 9

how can i reduce the prominence of my chin scar?

Accepted Answer

Chin reduction surge: You need to see an oral surgeon or a plastic surgeon who will evaluate first whether prominence is from soft tissue or from bone.Depending on that your surgery will be planned.

Question 10

mild prominence of intrahepatic biliary radicles?

Accepted Answer

: All imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the finding in isolation is not a cause for concern.    
Wish you good health!
