Had an M.R.I of spinal cord for M.S lesion?
imaging findings; i note a report which refers 2 multiple lesions cord commencing at level T3, extends 2 the conus. on the axial T2 sequence, lower theoretic cord & conus(image 12 2 32)apparent glorious signal intensity c in cord. COMMENT;vague areas of altered signal intensity is c onlyby the T2 axial sequences the lower thoracic cord. this is not visualised on other sequences and is thought to represent pulsation or flow type artefact's. no other significant abnormalities are visualised.. CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS...
Answers: This is something to talk over with your Dr ! I know how tricky it it is to wait for the results, but coming on line and getting yourself worked up wont help any .Wait and talk to your Dr
The thoracic region of the spine consists of 12 vertebrae numbered from the top as T1 through T12. It is located in the thorax or chest region between the neck and belly. With Magnetic Resonance Imaging the machine is encircled by large and powerful electromagnets that are turned on and off fast for a period of time. The magnetism causes the molecules surrounded by your body to line up and all point the same direction. When the electricity turns stale and the magnetic field disappears the body's molecles return to their original position giving past its sell-by date energy in the process. It is this energy that make the image on the film.
Now, about your spinal cord. What the similes are showing is multiple lesions on the cord extending from the top of T3 all the way through it to the disc that cushions T3 and T4. A vertebral disc is one type of conus. They are also seeing something merely on an axial view of T2 which is above T3. An axial view is looking right down or up the channel that the cord runs through. What the similes show are some abnormalities in the cord beginning contained by the lower part of T2 extending downward probably into T3 where the lesions are. Basically, they really don't know what they are seeing inside T2. The signal intensity depends directly on the density of the tissue. More density equals a stronger signal. The strength of the signal enable the doctor to identify areas of low or high density and is a valuable tool for identifying tumors, lesion, pinched nerves, etc.
I hope this gives you a little bit better understanding of the process and what the metaphors are showing. My prayers are with you and I wish you good condition from this day forward.
