A member asked:

I had a mri on my ankle, which showed a probable tear of the ligament. what can probable mean?

Probable: I believe radiologists use the term "probable" when they are highly suspicious of a particular diagnosis but not 100% sure. Certain pathologies may give off a similiar appearance on mri.
