In radiology, are coronal mri scan views more accurate at viewing tonsillar ectopia / brain sagging? (not congenital chiari) coronal i have 11mm ectopia but in sagital doesn't look too bad. thank you?

The views are distinct and if detected and measured is most likely accurate. Watch for headache, nausea,dizziness and imbalance. If these symptoms occur, please see the Emergency Department. A Flu and COVID 19 vaccination is recommended.

MRI studies are performed using standardized protocols and would reliably detect obvious pathology. If you have concerns or questions, ask the radiologist to review the films with you
