Been sooooo busy I hadn't even checked to see if they had posted this report to MyChart. Not that there's much to see.
* * *Final Report* * *
DATE OF EXAM: Jul 30 2014 2:27PM
UMM 0474 - MRI BRAIN WWO CONTRAST / ACCESSION # 999999999
PROCEDURE REASON: Abnormality of gait
* * * Physician Interpretation * * *
MRI BRAIN WWO CONTRAST
HISTORY: Abnormal gait. Clinical concern for possible demyelinating process. Routine follow-up
TECHNIQUE: Brain MRI with demyelinating disease protocol with and without gadolinium.
MR Contrast: Gadavist
MR Contrast Volume (ml): 10
MR Contrast Route of Administration: Intravenous
COMPARISON: MRI Brain on 09/14/2013
BRAIN RESULT:
Findings: Few foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity scattered in the brain parenchyma, along the periventricular, and asymmetric T2/FLAIR hyperintensity adjacent to the right occipital horn. There is corresponding T1 hypointensity and no enhancement. Extent of signal change is very limited, but this appearance can be seen as a sequela of
previous demyelination.
New T2 Lesions: Zero
Interval Improvement: Not applicable.
New Enhancing Lesions: Zero.
T2 Burden of Disease: Mild.
Parenchymal Volume Loss: None.
Other Significant Findings: Morphology the brain is otherwise normal. Major intracranial arterial structures and dural venous sinuses show typical flow void consistent with patency by spin echo criteria.
IMPRESSION:
Stable, nonspecific intracranial deep white matter lesions can be seen in the setting of multiple sclerosis. No new T2 lesions or enhancing lesions.
