Mri shows 2 cysts. size not given in report. does image on mri film show actual size i can measure with a ruler?

No: the "size" IS reported as the "size" ON IMAGING...... BTW it is usually NOT the "size" but the NUMBER and APPEARANCE of the cysts that are the clue to their nature! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Not really: But there may be a scale on the film you can use. The images are very variable. Depends on how they are made, printed, viewed. Should have been measured when made. Ask your doctor to explain
