I don't know if this has been referred to in this Forum before  but it is very interesting.

It is  much too large to copy and paste but it is very interesting and tells you what you MIGHT see  on MRI's and the different inflammatory diseases that can cause lesions in the brain, including Multiple Sclerosis, Ischemia, and other disorders.

Excellent, I look forward to checking it out. The vascular disease has been brought up to me.
I second Nanners, Quix. I am so thankful for your presence here.

Don't fool yourself. Your brilliance is first knowing where to find the info and second and most of all how to put it in laymans terms. I am sure this skill/talent made you an excellent practicing MD. I, for one, truly count on your analysis of medical reports.

I will check out the site, but would love (when time and health permit) your interp of it. Thanks

Oh, you found one of my hidden sources of info.  I'm not really that brilliant, you know.  I just find other people who are and tell you what they say.  I was going to go over it carefully when I was clear headed to see if I could learn and remember the differences especially between the patterns of demyelination versus the pattern seen in ischemia (also called microvascular disease).

We should maintain a thread of good informative sites that we can add to as we go.  Thank you.  Quix
