MRI

The Minimal diffuse disc bulge referes to the shock absorbing "disc" that sits between the vertebra. it means that the disc is sticking out past what is normal limit of the vertebra, but not enough to be affecting surrounding structures such as the nerve roots. Moderates to severe "facet" disease refers to likely degenerative changes like arthritis on the bony facets which are part of the vertebra

SEQUENCE help to control the amount of T1 or T2 contrast present in the image. Pulse sequences of the spin echo type, usually employs a 90° pulse, followed by one or more 180° pulses to eliminate field inhomogeneity and chemical shift effects at the echo. Caused by this 180° refocusing pulse, spin echo or fast spin echo (FSE, TSE) sequences are more robust against e.g. susceptibility artifacts than sequences of the gradient echo type.

I'm not a doctor, but I have been going through a lot of testing and diagnoses since October 2008 when I had a tear in my left shoulder (rotator cuff). I have always had problems with headaches and neck aches, but in March 2009 I started having back pain too. After months of going through the runaround, I have found out I have 3 disc problems (a herniated disc in my lower back L5-S1, a herniated disc in my mid/upper back at T8-T9, and either a degenerated, torn, or herniated disc in my neck at C5-C6.)

Annual tear just means the outer portion of the disc is torn, which allows fluid to leak out and put pressure on the spinal cord and nerve outlets which causes pain in various places and may even cause a decrease in function in various parts of the body. I don't know exactly what spondylotic disease is but I believe it affects the vertebrae.

Depending on what's torn in your shoulder, it's going to require lengthy physical therapy, surgery, or both.

Ask some questions when you visit your doctors.

This depends on a number of factors such as what part of the body is being scanned and what scan sensitivity is used e.g. 5mm or 3mm slice thickness, etc.

MRI, CAT and EEG are ways of scanning the brain. An MRI scan could possibly help. You need to talk to a doctor.

I have a tungsten Carbide ring and actually got all the way in the MRI tube till I felt a little vibration on my ring finger. I then freaked out and started pressing the alert button. It seams it's not an issue since it was vibrating just ever so slightly. But I'd remove anything that's metal just to be safe, they give you a locker with key for that.

It depends wheter you need contrast dye or not. If you need contrast dye for a scan then yes, you will need an IV placed which feels like getting a shot, if not less painful.

You can ask your GP or another healthcare professional for a second or further opinion (an opinion about your health condition from a different doctor). Although you do not have a legal right to a second opinion, a healthcare professional will rarely refuse to refer you for one.

You should be allowed to have an MRI scan if you have wires on your teeth, such as fixed braces. However, if the braces are removable, then you may be asked to take them out before your scan. Contact your dentist or the MRI Unit where your appointment is to find out the exact regulations.

LOL In other words, nothing you probably didn't find with your fingers. I hope you get some more answers soon.

It means a piece of your disk has broken off completely form the rest of the disk, and it is pressing on a nerve root that branches off from your spinal cord.

Yes. There's no real limit to how many MRIs you can have because there's no radiation involved - it uses powerful magnets. The only thing is that a cervical spine MRI and a brain MRI all at the same time might take quite a while so it's senisible to space it out a bit.

Wen you put your mind in it.

Yes

• A long TR and short TE sequence is usually called Proton density -weighted
• A short TR and short TE sequence is usually called T1-weighted
• A long TR and long TE sequence is usually called T2-weighted

Glitter in powder makeup often comes from fish scales. I'd recommend not putting on makeup before your MRI, or calling the manufacturer of a specific product you are worried about.

T1= Fat- Appears Bright e.g. Grey matter

= Water- Appears Dark e.g. CSF, water

T2 Just opposite to T1

lol no you stu pid

By and large, a free MRI scan is not typically going to be provided free, even with quality insurance. The only instance where a person could obtain a free MRI is as part of a workman's compensation claim.

An MRI scan is obtained by using radio frequency waves (similiar to FM radio waves) to energize Hydrogen atoms in fat and water. When you add energy to the Hydrogen atoms you can create a signal that can be then turned into an image.

The bony spine is made up of bones which stack one upon another. These bones are called vertebrae. These vertebrae are separated from each other by discs. There is a disc between every 2 vertebrae. The discs are hockey-puck-shaped cushions with a capsule very much like nylon tape, filled with a jelly-like subsance (called the nucleus pulposus). A herniated disc is a disc which has a tear in the capsule, from which protrudes some of the jelly-like substance. An annular tear is a tear in the disc. This is what the radiologist says you have when he sees a tear in the disc but nothing protruding through it. The question of whether an annular tear can actually cause pain is controversial. Some authorities say it can, some say it can't.

Functional MRI is an MRI procedure to determine activation in the brain during activities or in disease condition. Also known as fMRI. fMRI uses the same MRI machine as other examinations but it requires special additional software. Detection of activation in the brain is determined by the oxygen content in the blood vessel under the premise that oxygen level is high when the brain is activated.

MR arthrogams are done in two steps. Step 1. A direct injection is done into the joint using a needle, diluted contrast, and fluoroscopy guidance. The procedure can take anywhere between 15-45 minutes depending on the degree of difficulty in accessing the joint space. Step 2. An MRI is performed with sequences and positioning specifically tailored for the arthrogram. The arthrogram is usually performed between 30 and 45 minutes after injection in Step 1, though can be done up to 3 hours later if planned accordingly and with a less dilute contrast given during Step 1.
