Is my mri normal???

Is my mri normal???

WHY is it that everytime  i get an mri, the doctors say it's normal, then when i pick it up it's not? My gastro's office called and told me my mri was ''basically'' normal, and no other details, so I went and picked up the report, and it doesn't look normal to me.
The spleen, liver, gallbladder, aorta, pancreas,IVC ETC IS NORMAL

but here is what is sticking out at me-
there is a possible osseous hemangioma measuring 1.5 cm right sacrum
the ureter bladder is partially distended without focal or diffuse urinary bladder wall thickening.
There is trace free fluid in the pelvis.
IMPRESSION-
trace free fluid in the pelvis, possible rectosigmoid wall thickening. Correlation with CT of the abdomen and pelvis reccommend for better evaluation of the bowl wall.


btw  i went to the potty before taking the test.

"There is a possible osseous hemangioma measuring 1.5 cm right sacrum" means a possible small blood filled cyst in the bone of the right lower back.  As long as hemangiomas are small (which yours is) they are completely benign meaning they don't cause problems and there is nothing to worry about.  They are very commonly found when the MRI is being done for something else.

"The ureter bladder is partially distended without focal or diffuse urinary bladder wall thickening" depends on whether you are having any bladder or kidney symptoms.  If you are not having any bladder or kidney symptoms, then this is just how your body was made and there is nothing to worry about.  You should ask your doctor about this.

"There is trace free fluid in the pelvis" is very nonspecific and if is just a small amount (trace) it probably doesn't mean anything.

"Possible rectosigmoid wall thickening" means that there might be some inflammation in that part of the colon but the radiologist thinks that a CT scan would help evaluate whether this is anything of importance.

As I told you many times, a CT scan is better than an MRI, and the radiologist now thinks you need a CT scan because it gives a much better view of what you are trying to look at.

Can you request a CT scan if anything for your peace of mind?
