What is clinical correlation requested after an MRI?
When interpreting an imaging study (xray, CT, ultrasound, or MRI, among others), sometimes a particular finding can mean different things in different clinical situations. When a radiologist comes across a finding which may mean multiple things, a radiologist says "please correlate with clinical findings" or "clinical correlation requested" to indicate the finding may mean several things in different circumstances. For example, on a chest Xray there may be some opacities in a lung field. That, combined with the clinical information that the patient has a high fever, with yellow sputum, high white blood cell count, and is a young woman without other medical problems--then the leading suspicion is that it is an infection, likely pneumonia. On the other hand, if the clinical information is that the patient has just had minor surgery, no fever, has some shallow breaths, then it's more likely that the opacities can be due to atelectasis.

Will you need surgery at C6-C7 there is a central to left central to foraminal herniation that causes central left central canal and left neuroforaminal stenosis?
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.

How accurate is a mri scan on the knee?
MRI scans of the knee are highly accurate for diagnosing various conditions, including tears of ligaments, menisci, and cartilage, as well as identifying bone abnormalities and soft tissue injuries. Sensitivity and specificity can exceed 90% for certain injuries, making MRI a valuable tool in orthopedic assessments. However, the accuracy can be influenced by factors such as the quality of the MRI equipment, the experience of the radiologist, and the specific condition being evaluated. Overall, while MRI is a reliable diagnostic tool, clinical correlation and additional imaging may sometimes be necessary for a comprehensive evaluation.
Do chiropractors know how to read MRI?
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.
Will my head be out of the MRI for an MRI of my tibia?
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.
Can a mri scan show if theres anything wrong with the aorta?
Yes, an MRI scan can effectively assess the aorta for abnormalities. It can provide detailed images that reveal conditions such as aneurysms, dissections, or blockages in the aorta. Additionally, MRI can evaluate the surrounding tissues and structures, offering comprehensive insights into cardiovascular health. However, other imaging modalities like CT scans or ultrasounds may also be used depending on the clinical situation.
