After mri,on lower spine what does clinical correlation mean
MRI certificate programs include extensive hands-on training in a variety of clinical settings. Newly hired technicians complete a period of on-the-job training during which they shadow an experienced mentor.
Clinical correlation requested after an MRI means that the medical professional interpreting the MRI results is seeking additional information from the patient's symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests to better understand the significance of the findings on the MRI scan. This helps in making a more accurate diagnosis and developing an appropriate treatment plan.
Depend on what the clinical signs/symptoms are and what condition we are discussing (tonsils removed or heart surgery?).
Need of surgery or indication for surgery at C6-C7 depends on clinical features rather than on MRI findings. If you have no pain or no neurological deficits there is no need of surgery. If there is a correlation between clinical features and MRI findings then there is an indication for surgery to remove your suffering.

No, schmorl's nodes do not usually have any clinical manifestation at all. They are usually just found on x-ray or MRI when a doctor is checking out something completely unrelated.
Chiropractic education includes instruction and clinical experience in reading MRI. Further, chiropractic radiologists, who study for 3 additional years following their 4 years of chiropractic school, have very extensive training in the interpretation of all forms of medical imaging. That being said, the expertise of a chiropractor or chiropractic radiologist will be in interpreting neuromusculoskeletal aspects of the MRI. For interpretation of visceral (organ) conditions that may appear on MRI, I would suggest a medical radiologist rather than a chiropractic radiologist.
If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.

A T2 weighted image, on a MRI, is not diagnostic, in and of itself. T2 hyperintensity could represent tumor, infarction, hemorrhage, or trauma, for instance. In the context of the clinical picture, the MRI is extremely helpful. If there has been no trauma, then the location and appearance of the T2 hyperintensity can point to a vascular cause versus a space-occupying lesion. The clinical course of the patient will cinch the diagnosis, when combined with the MRI findings - in cases such as these. In the case of a mass in the brainstem of a child, the most common cause would be that of a brainstem glioma. These account for anywhere between 10-20% of all brain tumors in children. However, this is not the only possibility (see above).
