What is the defect?  What are your symptoms, and why was the test given?  There should be comments associated with MRI report.  A test doesn't magnify nor enlarge the defect; it usually requires a radiologist to interpret and that may not be the final diagnosis.

You really need to post this on the expert forum, none of us are qualified to read a scan and it would be irresponsible of us to try to do so and give advice.


Good luck,

Jon
