Results from brain MRI. Worried about subacute degeneration of spinal cord

[Kapat1]

Hi

I attended neurology a few months ago for MRI . I've just had my results should I be worried? To be honest it's not put my mind at rest as that is the point in my neck that I have a lot of pain .

Kapat1 - I suggest that you discuss with your GP or try to speak to the neurologist.

I did find this article on interpretation of MRI scans of the spinal chord

jnnp.bmj.com/content/jnnp/5...

it talks about various different 'artefacts' on the second page - these are things that cause blips on the scan that look as if they are problems rather than a problem with the spinal chord itself

Do they give you all a disk with the actual MRI images + software to view or just a report like the image above? Here locally, they actually give us the disk and you can view it on your computer at home. Just curious how that works over there.

They just give us a written report as above
