Dr. Joseph Accurso answered

Specializes in Radiology

Need more info: Please just call your doctors office and ask for the results! do not wait anxiously! do not know what the x means, but it probably is a marker - for what, I do not know. The t1=155 references an MRI value - images can be obtained with what is called t1 or t2 signal - in one, fluid is dark (t1) and the other, bright (t2). This is a basic concept, and clinical MRI is more complex.
