Hey Jake! I'm a graphic design student currently getting my BFA. I have a final thesis project on creating a font typeface, and I am really interested in MRI scans, specifically of the brain. This video was amazing in helping me research more on the conceptual side of things. May I ask where you found these scans? And if there is anywhere that I can find full MRI scans of a brain online? This would be amazing.

[@GRAVEHOPbbx]

I just checked the links in the description and found some! thank you so much Jake, this video is amazing.

[@JakeGibbonsMD]

Glad you found it and thanks for watching! I love radiopedia and they allow you to use that content if you cite it in your work.

Just had an MRI done today. Probably won't see this by the time I get my results back but how can a radiologist differ a bright spot on an image for a possible tumor versus someone wearing braces? The person I spoke with today mentioned that my braces may show up as a spot or dark spot on some of the images. How do you tell what's what?

[@JakeGibbonsMD]

The artifact from braces and other metal is pretty characteristic in its appearance, so it should not provide much confusion for a tumor. The braces artifact is very dark. A tumor has a variety of appearances but much different than that type of artifact.

Hi, just a curious person here, how long does it take as a range for a doctor to look through the images of an MRI scan to make a diagnosis? If anyone can illuminate I would really appreciate it.

[@buildingkingdom4Christ]

Is this with contrast?

[@JakeGibbonsMD]

This one I just reviewed the non contrast sequences

[@taeyangkim7304]

Will u see nasopharyngeal space ?

[@JakeGibbonsMD]

Not particularly well on a brain mri. A CT or MR of the neck would be better for that.

What would you be looking for in a male in his 20s. With memory loss, fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, stuttering.

[@JakeGibbonsMD]

Those are pretty nonspecific symptoms with a lot of brain and non-brain causes. Sometimes no explanation is found. It just varies by the patient.
