Depends: Image quality is assessed on every study. Just like every car on the road is not the same, neither is every MRI and of course every patient getting scanned. Feel free to schedule a consult and upload some of your images and we can review the importance and impact of the changes this comment alludes to.

Size counts.: This could mean that due to the patient's size, the mri results are not optimum for desired detailed results. Special parameters are necessary to deal with larger people.
