Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

MRI report: "Flow voids" signify normal flow through the blood vessels. Minimal mucosal disease signifies very slight sinusitis. This is a common incidental finding, there may be no associated symptoms and therefore no treatment necessary.
