A member asked:
On mri report what does no gross pancreatic abnormalities are identified mean as opposed to within normal limits or unremarkable??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May just be style: It is possible that reporting "No gross abnormalities" raises the question of suboptimal imaging, perhaps due to motion or artifact forcing the reader to equivocate. Perhaps more likely is that the phrase may just be a matter of reporting style and could be equivalent to "Within normal limits". The distinction is hopefully not clinically significant. If still concerned, could ask radiologist.
