Re: How truthful are the MRI results?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jenn-

Many doctors say that the MRI is very accurate in determining what

sort of tissue composes the septum. I think MRI is the only thing,

besides hysteroscopy, that can give you an idea about this.

Unfortunately none of the imaging techniques are 100% accurate, so

MRIs are not always right.

Last year I had an MRI that indicated that my septum had a good blood

supply, and was likely to act like a BU and support a pregnancy, and

therefore should not be removed. It turned out that this was NOT

true, and I had my septum resected last week during hysteroscopy (and

it did NOT have a good blood supply).

Jenn,

I had an HSG that intialled showed a UU, but could have been a SU or BU. I had

the MRI and the results stated my uterus was UU with a " clearly defined septum. "

My doctor never personally looked at the films and went on the word of the tech.

I had the Lap\Hys, and woke up from surgery to find out I definately had a UU.

I believe the MRI can be more accurate in determining the anamoly only if the

tech\doctor is experienced. In my case the other side is a solid mass, which is

what the tech was calling the septum.

How truthful are the MRI results?

I had a HSG due to the U/s showing a BU? or something. The HSG

showed a definte septum but not what it was made of. So I am

schuduled for an MRI on Friday. I was wondering if anyone has had

good results from an MRI reading. My husband and I are very anxious

to start trying and I hope I am not wasting my time just having

these tests. Please respond. Thank you. JEnn

Jenn,

I am sorry, I mistyped. The MRI showed a SU with a clearly defined septum, not

UU.
