The thing about reading other peoples MRI's... is that there are many different layers or slices that also need to be looked at to see the "history" surrounding the images.

I think I am the odd one out of this group. I agree that doctors have years and years of experience looking at these and being able to see things clearer...but I do encourage people to look over their own MRI's and ask questions about them...just like any other medical test. If you see something that genuinely looks out of place then, like many things in our world, it's important to be able to question ANYTHING that is concerning your body. If you don't get a doctor who will go over the MRI's with you, move on.

The problem is that no one can really read JPG images.  MRI images have to be windowed and leveled in a DICOM viewer.  Many people think they see UBOs, but most of the time, the "bright white" objects are normal anatomy.  Finding the lighter "smudges" in the white matter areas of the brain is like hunting for Waldo.  

Once you MRI is read, we may be able to help translate it into something that looks like English.

Hi Tasha,
I did take a look at your MRI pics but honestly I don't know enough about reading them to make any comments.  The radiologists study this for years and years and then more years.  There are way too many things that can cause spots on an mri for the lay person to understand.

I'm really sorry that I am of no help here but wanted to let you know that someone has read your post.
best, Lulu
