what does the white matter mean? How serious of a surgery is it to remove the white matter?

If they are doing a contrast dye scan, they usually use a form of iodine as the contrast agent. This dye agent is used regardless of which part of the body is being scanned.

MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, works by utilizing the molecules of water within an object. The MRI machine is able to manipulate the water molecules within an object in such a way that it creates a picture using the different amounts of water within different areas of an object.

Magnetic Resonance Angiogram

It is used, typically with a slightly radioactive contrast agent injected into the arm, to visualize blood vessels, often in the brain.

Actually the contrast agent isn't radioactive at all (you're thinking of nuclear medicine procedures). It's paramagnetic and can be used to visualise any blood vessel. There are ways of imaging blood vessels without any contrast agent at all, useful if the patient has any problems with their kidney function.

Have them check you for MDS.....Myleodysplastic Syndrome. My husband was diagnosed with it 1 1/2 year ago. Hope it isn't MDS.

The MRI tech test is extremely hard and requires lots of studying and full concentration. It is best to take pre-tests before taking the actual test to prepare yourself for the questions.

Syringomyelia is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. This cyst aka syrinx expands over time, destroying a portion of the spinal cord from its center and expanding outward.

"What could "fluid shown in fallopian tube" on MRI mean? Your doctor will most likely recommend a follow-up and probably a pelvic ultrasound. There are a few different things that could cause this; and it's important that you follow your physicians advise. Could be caused from previous surgery, endometriosis, etc.

However much the engineers who designed it designed it to use. This may be different in different parts of the scanner, or even in different models of the scanner depending on where it's intended to be used (the US, Europe, Canada, etc.).

There's no theoretical reason it couldn't accept whatever is the typical mains voltage in the area and convert it internally to whatever is needed. For example, the computer part is probably running on a mix of 5 and 12 volts, while the coils are likely whatever they can shove through there without actually melting something.

High quality metal isnt magnetic so it shouldn't interfere. However, the medical professionals have no way of knowing if yours are good quality or not so they'll probably make you remove them:)

It means the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your lower back are normal on MRI.

This essentially means that some of the bone seen on MRI is not "bright" (like with normally calcified bones), but is darker, possibly, that had been expected. You need to discuss just why this might be so in this case with the ordering doctor... I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but there are so many reasons this condition might be seen on an MRI, that your doctor will have a better idea of what it might be...

Sorry that your answer hasn't been replied to yet, and I don't know everything about what you are asking but, I know about the lordosis. "Mild" reversal of the cervical lordosis is way better than a complete reversal. The Lordosis is the actual curve in the cervical spine (neck). Normally, the lordosis curves inward toward your throat. If there are changes in the lordosis, it means that it is starting to straighten (first) out to what they call "military neck". I have a complete reversal of the lordosis which means that my cervical spine has lost the complete curve and actually curves the opposite way. This is due to a whiplash injury from a rear-end collision in July of this year. I also have bulging in the same area as you, and problems in T1, T2 & T3. Bulging of the C4-5 is where your cervical vertabre is bulging out of your spine. More than likely due to disk injury. Each vertabre is numbered. There are 7 vertabre in the neck area, each are numbered starting from the joint where they spine and head connect. (Cervical 4 & Cervical 5) The term cervical deals only with the neck. Thoracic deals with the upper back. So, after C7, it then changes to T1, T2 etc. Good luck on your recovery. It's a long road or so I hear to finally get back to normal or close to it!

Balanced FFE (Fast Field Echo) is the Philips name for the bSSFP Balanced Steady State Free Precession MRI pulse sequence. It is very fast (thanks to powerful gradients which recycle the magnetization) and gives high signal images (thanks to spin-echo-like refocusing of magnetization). The generic contrast it yields is T1/T2; that is, fluids and fat appear brighter than other tissue.

Chronic white ischemic changes, and many other similar sounding terms, all relate to the identification of abnormal hyperintense signal foci in the white matter of brain. The number, size, pattern and distribution of the anomalies, as well as the patient demographics and history all contribute to a differential diagnosis, whereby the radiologist reading the exam tries to attribute a cause to the anomalies. Often times, a certain number of anomalies are noted, which when all criteria are considered, seem to be part of the normal spectrum of findings. This is particularly true of older individuals, where it is a common finding. The lesions themselves are not cause for concern, and no treatment per se is necessary.

You would see inside the people and all the problems that are caused by old age would be looked at and could be diagnosed. Plus, new treatments could be discovered aswell.

Yes, it can. MRI is suitable to find any soft tissue pathology (tendon included)

The cost of an MRI for the wrist can vary widely depending on factors such as location, facility, and whether you have insurance. On average, the price typically ranges from $400 to $3,500. If you have insurance, your out-of-pocket cost may be significantly lower, depending on your plan's coverage. It's advisable to check with your healthcare provider and insurance company for precise estimates.

means they are unclear and you may need further testing to clarify what the found.

Each year there are over 60 million MRIs done worldwide. 1o million in the US alone. Due to the expense of an MRI and pre certs needed for insurance companies, MRIs are conducted on patients with serious conditions. Multiply these figures for 10 or 20 years it is easy to conclude ---millions of lives have been saved and in improving the quality of life at the same time

Your disc has ruptured (beyond a herniation, which is full displacement) and the pulpous material (like a jelly doughnut) has become free floating within the disc space. Options are spinal decompression if you have nerve pain or surgery as a last resort to scoop away remaining disc material or allow the nerve root to exit the narrowed cavity without aggravation.
