wacma: Need help with MRI report

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Everyone ,

I have a report from the local radiologist , that reports MRI to be normal. I

was wondering if anyone could tell me what this particular statement means.

Dr. Heffez reading were totalally different as if that is a surprise.

Thanks for your help in advance... Dawn

On oneof the sagittal T2 weighted images, there is some minimal signal in

the cervical cord which I feel is artifactual and may be due to Gibbs

phenomena or pulsation artifacts. No definate syrinx is demonstrated on the

axial images.

Does this mean that there was a interruption in the picture due to flow

movement inthe brain? I tried to look it up but couldnt find anything.

Many Hugs and Prayers, that will bring Smiles to Our Faces, and

that will Warm Our Hearts Everyday , Dawn
