Lumbar mri, what does "t2 stir signal abnormality is appreciated" mean?? help!!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The phrase: refers to a certain type of bright spot seen on MRI. Usually it indicates inflammation in the muscles, but it can mean many things, most of which are harmless. If you had a recent injury as the reason for the MRI, it could mean that the muscles are inflamed. Without further information, it would be impossible to tell. Discuss it with the doctor who ordered the MRI. Hope this helps!
