Consult MD: I would consult with the md who ordered the MRI for you. Your doctor should go over the results with you so that you understand the results.

Bad answer: First, you should ask the doctor who sent you for the test to go over the results in detail with you. The radiologist office can also send you a copy of the report. You are entitled to this. If you still have questions, either ask for the radiologist directly or ask your physician.
