mri QuestionFrom: anonymous@obgyn.netWed, 30 May 2001 18:57:49 EDT
Hello, I had an MRI done recently of my complete spine because of an abnormal Ga Scan and some pain I've been having, along with "lymphadenopathy" in my thoracic area (seen on chest film). This is what the report said as far as abnormal findings went and I was hoping somebody could deciphr them for me. In the description section it said - " The marrow signal demonstrates some heterogenity with focal areas of T1 Hyperintense, and T2 hyperintense regions within the vertebrael bodies that are likely secondary to hemangiomas or focal fatty infilitration." and "There is nerve sheath prominence between the iliacus and psoas muscle, and this is likely a prominent nerve sheath. " Then in the Impression section it says: 1) "Hemangiomas, or focal fatty infiltration within the thoracic vertebrael bodies" 2) "Prominence of the nerve sheath within the sacrum between the iliacus and psoas muscles as described which is likely a prominent nerve sheath, however malignancy cannot be excluded completely. " I know what malignancy is but the rest is like reading latin, does anybody know what this means? and what type of malignancy (cancer?) would be in those areas if there was one thank you kayla
