Question 1

from an mri or brain report it says major vascular flow voids are present. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

It is a: normal appearance for the vessels to have "flow voids" on routine MRI....the moving blood does not generate an MRI signal due to the physics involved.  So what you are reporting is a description of a completely normal finding.  No need to worry.

Question 2

brain mri 62 year old female "expected major vascular flow voids are identified" , what does this mean;   does this affect brain function?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It means they saw the flow voids.  These are areas where blood vessels are.  Since the blood is moving, they have no signal on MRI (in that sequence).  It is a normal finding.

Question 3

what does it mean "normal vascular flow voids are present in the distal carotid and vertebral arteries, the
basilar artery and the proximal anterior, ?

Accepted Answer

Normal arteries: Since the blood is moving during an MRI, the inside of the blood vessels appears to be a "flow void".  This is the language used to report normal-appearing blood vessels.

Question 4

i had a brain scan and the report i received said the following "basilar cisterns are present. major intracranial vascular flow voids are present. trace mucosal thickening within the paranasal sinuses, without air-fluid levels . what does mean?

Accepted Answer

: Your MRI brain scan is considered normal. Take care!

Question 5

2 (2 mm) rounded ill-defined foci of hyperintense signal abnormality on t2-weighted and flair series in the posterior right frontal subcortical white matter. major intracranial vascular flow voids identified. feel cold sensation 30secs on top head?

Accepted Answer

: Cannot correlate the "cold sensation" with your report of an apparent MRI finding.  The latter may well be nonspecific.  The images need to be over-read to provide clinical significance.  Suggest handling via a virtual consult where a thorough evaluation can be undertaken.  (www.connect@healthtap.com)

Question 6

mri showed vascular flow void in proximal intracranial vascular. dominant left artery mildly flattens ventral cervicomedullar junction. 
eeg showed abnormality due to presence of sharply contoured waves in left frontal temporal. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Conclusion difficult: These are very sensitive findings.Call the doctor who ordered &amp; discuss with him

Question 7

at the end of my mri it stated there are flow voids in the major vascular structurs.  what does this mean?  is this bad?

Accepted Answer

discuss with your MD: The doctor who ordered the test should be the one to answer all your questions related to the test. Flow void in vascular structures is normal.

Question 8

what does this mean on my testicular us?
i have symmetric vascular flow bilaterally(meaning?) homogenous vascularity.

Accepted Answer

Normal: The Doppler ultrasound has assessed the bloodflow to the testicles and found it to be adequate and symmetrical

Question 9

is there major vascular flow at the skull base?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The carotid arteries, basilar arteries and jugular veins enter and exit at the skull base.

Question 10

are complex mixed solid ovarian masses with vascular flow a cause to worry? i always had simple cyst but not this, in middle of testing.

Accepted Answer

Finish test: Having the exam and tests done should be able to
tell you what is there and if you need to have some-
thing done.
