Thank you very much for these videos and for your effort!

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Glad you like them!

[@Shannonmulhall31]

I been told i have ms or a brain tumour as i have a solitary white spot on left frontal lobe so watching this has been interesting and better to compare my symptoms

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

I'm glad it has been helpful for you. Best of luck with your diagnosis and treatment.

What about “Wide-Bore” MRI? If it works just as well as the narrow type MRI why isn’t it the standard?

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Despite the best attempts of the scanner manufacturers, wide bore MRI does not work as well as the standard type. It is harder to create an even magnetic field which can result in decreased image quality. It may take up more room and may cost more because of additional components to make up for the size difference. In most cases, it may not make a difference and they have done a pretty good job of getting them as close as possible. Wide bore scanners are helpful for larger patients and patients with severe claustrophobia, which helps.

MS like symptoms since at least 2018 and i cannot get a doctor to help me

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

I'm sorry to hear. A neurologist with specialization in multiple sclerosis should be able to help determine if you have MS and what the next steps are

[@immane75]

Was waiting for that one .Thanks .

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

No problem 👍 Hope you liked it.

[@k.m.slattery6263]

For MS diagnosis/treatment how much of the spinal cord should/can be scanned for lesions?

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

For initial diagnosis, the entire spinal cord (cervical and thoracic spine. the spinal cord stops at the bottom of the lumbar spine) is usually scanned at least once. Subsequent scanning is variable and may depend on symptoms and preference

[@namir1782]

hi, thanks a lot for the video although i have a question. i dont understand how microinfarctions can produce leptomeningeal enhancements is there a known pathophysiological mechanism behind this?

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Ah, well, anything that causes disruption of the blood brain barrier can cause leptomeningeal enhancement. In infarcts, there is damage to the vessel junctions and vessel walls themselves, and the contrast leaks out.

[@martinnilsson495]

Really great, surely will help me. Thanks a lot!

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for checking out the video

[@immane75]

can you please a video on how to assess atrphy and aghing brain .Thanks .

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Dr. Hoch is going to work on that one next.

[@systematic402]

Can people with migraines have spine lesions as well like MS?

[@girlinterrupted9145]

This guy is too educated for me.. I’ll have to study medical terms first👍😘

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Dr. Hoch is pretty smart but hope you can still learn a little something!

[@girlinterrupted9145]

@@LearnNeuroradiology absolutely! Just wish I had a medical dictionary 😘

[@Itsme1.]

Can you live normal with balo disease ???

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Well, the prognosis varies but there are definitely treatments which can mitigate the disease and help you lead as normal life as possible. There will be challenges, of course, but your life isn't over.

[@Itsme1.]

@@LearnNeuroradiology Thanks a lot . I don’t know what type of inflammation I have, it’s similar to multiple sclerosis, but I don’t know what type it is. I saw the type Balo in my report, but the MRI show the opposite. The neurologist told me that to find it out, we have to wait two weeks and that’s why i’m here . Wish me luck and thank you again .

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Good luck!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Are we dying

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

Yeah, we're all dying, just a little bit at a time

[@acepirate5302]

Can I send you my MRI results please, if so what’s your email or fb or Instagram

[@LearnNeuroradiology]

I'm sorry we don't really do that for several reasons. You need to talk about them with your doctor.
