Don't Read Too Much Into Your MRI Report

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. Patients should avoid reading their own MRI reports because the technical language and medical terminology can be confusing and alarming. Without the necessary medical training, its easy to misinterpret findings, leading to unnecessary stress or anxiety. Additionally, some abnormalities noted in an MRI report may be unrelated to their symptoms. It's best for patients to discuss their MRI results with their doctor who can offer a clear, informed interpretation and create a treatment plan that suits their needs best. #thespineguy #MRIreading #incidentalfindings #drbrianwsu #brianwsuMD Dr. Brian W.
