im not trying to diagnose myself but iv got my long awaited results from an mri (suspected MS) and just wanted to know what the difference b/w a normal/abnormal scan is, perhaps if anyone here knows a website with images? (im waiting on a report from the radiologist)
thank you

Well you need to leave this one to the radiologist and neurologist. You need to look for demylination of the central nerves. You will see essentially white spots on the brain (depending if it is T1 or T2 weighted im assuming T1) . Now some white spots are normal and I am from Larimer County colorado with the highest rate of MS. I worked directly with a neurologist there and we found that MS can be controlled very well with modern medication. Just patiently wait and demand that you have the films explained to you at the visit. God Bless.

My husband has brain stem lesions. It bled 12/06 and we have been taking it one day at a time. I have looked at all of his scans and as a "normal" person it is hard to figure out what is what ! Dark spots are blood- and my husband has a venous amangioma and it looked like a "worm". Hang in there. Hopefully the results won't take that long. You will be in my prayers- Proverbs 3:5-6

I would wait for the experts to report as MRIs can be hard to interpret. I have mine here and two years after the report an still trying to figure out what is what!
