what does nodular peripherad enhancement mean on a mri. my husband had a cancerous mass (adenocarcinoma of lung) removed from calcaneus previously?

Question

Adenocarcinoma-non-small-cell lung cancer. How many people are doing ok after 1 year from diagnosis?

Answer 1

More trouble : This most likely represent pulmonary metastatic disease.

Answer 2

If there was an: Original lung cancer, and a cancer found in a bone (calcaneus = heel bone), and now a "nodule" with "peripheral enhancement" some place, it is somewhat likely that it is a metastatic deposit from the original lung caner. Hs he had a pet scan? Is this a brain mr? A lot more questions than answers...See the doctor that ordered the mr for details and options.

Answer 3

Yes if not improved: If you are still hurting without any real improvement or if it is feeling worse, then a MRI would be indicated unless the pain is mild and not affecting your life.

Answer 4

Whiplash: Unfortunately whiplash syndrome is difficult to treat and diagnose for that matter. I would get a cervical mri, but remember that the findings on MRI may or may not correlate with your symptoms.

Answer 5

Exam first: There has been a lot of great diagnostic skill derived from years of training & practice that your physician can bring to the process of examining a patient.After an exam, the physician can decide if additional studies are necessary prior to treatment.

Answer 6

Needs to be examined: An examination will go along way in determining what might be the problem as well as what teats need to be performed and what can be done.

Answer 7

Maybe, but...: You should have your son medically evaluated to help determine the cause of his pain. He may need an MRI, but usually Doctors start out with a physical exam, and then x-rays. Depending on the findings, your Doctor may recommend an MRI or other additional imaging procedure.

Answer 8

Yes: Dermoids do not prevent pregnancy but the diagnosis should be confirmed by sonogams. Unless they are very large they usually will not cause problems, but they can twist or rupture so removal might be advisable & can be done laparoscopically before pregnancy.

Answer 9

Abnormal ovarian cysts: A dermoid cyst has a very distinct pattern seen by ultrasound. It is very important to know how large this is and how long it's been in place. Also if it is causing pain. Sometimes dermoid can be confused with endometriomas. The cyst can also be another type of tumor which may need to be addressed surgically.

Answer 10

Sometimes: A ct scan will show the ovaries in the pelvis. Only significant and sometimes advanced changes of ovarian cancer such as excess fluid in the pelvis may be noticeable.

Answer 11

MAYBE: Although a contrast-enhanced ct--or, better still, a pelvic ultrasound--are preferred methods for visualizing the ovaries, a non-contact ct would likely show nonspecific irregularities of the ovaries. Bottom line: pelvic ultrasound is the best choice for visualizing ovaries.

Answer 12

Not usually: A much better test to detect ovarian cancer would be a transvaginal ultrasound.

Answer 13

Not necessarily...: Seeing ovarian cancer or not from ct without contrast is less desirable and accurate. But if an ovarian cancer is big and calcified, it can be easily suspected as how it may look. But, following the specific ct protocol for a specific suspected tumor so to have better visualization and diagnosis is highly recommended. Detail? Ask radiologist.

Answer 14

Back off: Jeff - please find yourself a good doctor to talk to face to face. Do not keep sending the same questions. Set your mind at ease and resolve your conflicts. That will be the only way to resolve your concerns!

Answer 15

Not sure: I cannot say with any semblance of surety that what type of seizure, u had. Please consult your neurologist. Thanks.
