Reference images for C-spine MRIs?

[ArtistLike]

Does anyone know of a good resource for reference images of cervical spine MRIs that detail abnormalities?  I've only found a few through Google image searches and a lot of them are really hard to see.

I am, I guess, Lulu.  I'm just so fed up with my world being upside down and doctors telling me I am doing it to myself and just need to relax.

You really are intent on driving yourself mad, aren't you?  LOL


  So glad the MS Atlas fueled your obsession.  I would be happy to trade you spinal columns - yours' looks so much nicer than mine.  

I hope the doctors can help you to interpret what is really being seen on your scans.

best,

So I had my c-spine, as well as t- and l- scanned yesterday.  The image quality is a zillion times better (http://www.medhelp.org/user_photos/show/217859?personal_page_id=2193367) and this time the bright areas that were showing in my cervical spine are all gone--it looks totally normal.  They re-scanned it to make sure the intense area wasn't a focal artifact and I'm still waiting on the report, but it looks like it was...which, realistically, is a good thing, right?  Except if my brain and spine are all normal, that puts me back at square one: really annoying/distracting/disorienting/sometimes painful physical issues that come and go...all in my head?  :-/

I posted my scan + two comparisons in my photos...obsess much, David?

Jen, do you know if the lesion would be related to the annular tear, or are we talking more like MS (or something like it)?  Asking because the scan--to my blurry eyes--looks between C2-C3 like cervical MS lesions in comparing to online photos.  (Dumb, dumb, dumb, I know...)

Sounds like you have a possible lesion at C2, and that they'll check it again.
