Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hey all, I guessing a few of you might be MRI experts by now. I have 2 questions that would be great if answered. I am booked in to see a Neuro in a few weeks. I have had a c.t. scan the first time and MRI a few weeks later due to reoccurring symptoms. The c.t. scan showed one image of my tonsils herniated 4.7mm. It was mentioned on the forums that c.t scans can be inaccurate in measuring. I had my MRI and was given a copy on disc to take to my nuro appointment. So I worked out how to use the software that was installed on the disc and measured the herniation on the MRI. What I found was looking at the side view of the brain cutting through sections is that the herniation is least in the very middle or center photo of the brain. Like 4mm or so. Interestingly the photo before the center line measures 9mm and the next photo after the center measures 8mm. For a diagnosis does anyone know if only the middle image is taken into consideration or the side images of the photos? Ok next question. Looking at your MRI from top view can you tell if how much space you have between the tonsils and the spinal cord to tell if you have fluid restrictions or you tonsils may be irritating the spinal cord? Also can we attach MRI to theses posts for comparisons sakes? Cheers Shayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
