#brain mri

Onset as of two days ago of migratory spasticity (muscle rigidity) in my legs and my elbow. I have a brain MRI on the 22nd, a neurology referral, waiting on my blood tests to come back, and explicit instructions to go to the ER if I get worse 😁👍🏻

Has anyone ever seen art or poetry re: internalized ableism? (see tags on this post.)

My neurologist ordered a barrage of MRI scans to be done since my migraines only seem to be getting worse & my last scan was 8 years ago. Last Friday I went & had the MRI & MRA scan done; tonight I get to have the MRV with contrast done. I'm exciting, I know.

I got my results for the MRI/MRA back today & everything is normal (organically speaking; I don't even entertain the notion that I myself am 'normal') But the only issue, which apparently isn't that much of an issue at this particular moment (at least to my neurologist) is that I have little white lesions on my brain or, in medical speak: Fazekas grade 1 chronic ischemic change.

In other words, I've got areas of dead brain tissue....

Good news, i just read my patient portal results and (beyond all the medical terminology I don't know) I can at least glean that the cancer did not go to my brain. :D FINDINGS: There is no acute ischemia or infarct.  No restricted diffusion.  No abnormal gradient signal.  There are preserved vascular signal voids the base of skull.  Paranasal sinuses are clear.  Gray-white differentiation is normal.  No mass effect or edema.  Specifically, no vasogenic edema.  There is no abnormal enhancement. CONCLUSION:No evidence for intracranial metastases.  No acute ischemia or infarct.

Anyone know what vascular signal voids are? ah, in this case it means good blood flow.

My second brain mri in as many weeks is in less than four hours. I DREAD.... absolutely dread taking the prescribed Ativan but you gotta do what you gotta do. I just hope I'll be somewhat able to take in @taylorswift's presence on Ellen today. 😭🕵️‍♀️💌

Please wish me luck in staying still for an hour OK? I really fuckin need it.

MRI Over X-ray or Ultrasound in Complex Cases

Medical imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases accurately and guiding effective treatment. While X-ray and ultrasound are commonly used as first-line imaging tools, they may not always provide sufficient detail in complex medical cases. In such situations, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) becomes the preferred choice. At Sikund Diagnostic Centre, MRI is often recommended when advanced and precise imaging is required for accurate diagnosis. X-rays are excellent for visualizing bones and detecting fractures, lung infections, or gross structural changes. However, they provide limited soft tissue detail and use ionizing radiation. Ultrasound, on the other hand, is safe and radiation-free but depends heavily on the operator’s skill and may be limited by factors such as body habitus, bowel gas, and deep-seated organs. In complex cases involving soft tissues, nerves, spinal structures, joints, brain, or internal organs, X-ray and ultrasound may fail to reveal subtle abnormalities or the full extent of disease.

Patients often fear the words stroke and tumor, especially when referred for a brain MRI. The blog emphasizes that while these conditions can be frightening, brain MRI is one of the safest and most effective tools for early detection, sometimes before symptoms become severe. At Sikund Diagnostic Centre, advanced Philips dStream MRI technology (40% higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio) enables early and accurate diagnosis, saving lives and improving outcomes. Unlike CT scans, which use radiation and provide limited detail, MRI is radiation-free, non-invasive, and offers superior contrast resolution for soft tissues like the brain. This makes it the gold standard for diagnosing strokes, tumors, and neurological issues. Patients benefit not just from accuracy but also from Sikund’s ambient MRI experience, designed to reduce anxiety with lighting, music, and television during the scan.
