I got a copy of my CINE and have been looking at it over and over. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time finding much of anything online to compare it to. I think many of you understand yours and I could use your help.
On the black and white high contrast images, I am seeing a lot of white (spinal fluid) along the front (left on the images)of my spinal cord, then it thins at the kink at my brainstem.
On the back view, there is a white outline at the rear of my cerebellum (not the bottom, just at the rear curve), then pretty much none until below C-5. Shouldn't there be CSF there too?
Can you explain some of your images and what they ultimately mean?
CSF is supposed to be in your whole spinal column & around your brain. Can you upload a picture off your disc so we can see what you are talking about?
You can go back to where you had it done and request a report. I was driving myself crazy trying to read my mri and found it much easier to research the words that were written in the report then trying to look at the scans.
I will call on Monday to get a copy of the report. I had it done Friday morning and assumed their radiologist wouldn't have read it by then, and then I just plain ole forgot to call that afternoon to check.... You mean, April, that I am not the only one who was driving myself crazy?? Hahahaha!
Tracy, I am uploading the picture on the cine that I captured that shows the white spinal fluid the brightest. This CINE didn't show around my whole head, just the area that is on the image.
Let me know what you think...it looks to me like I am a tad short on the fluid ~ haha....
I saw mine moving. Did they give you a disk of it moving or just stills? In mine you could clearly see the CSF going up and it was white then it would pulse back down and look black again. Mine was blocked though so I don't know if that's why it was black going down. Mine went up white, hit my block that appeared as a white line and then receded as a black line. I agree with the big brain ladies : ) that you should get the report and a disk of it moving if you don't have it. Also Emmaline is right a radiologist may not see something or call it "incidental" but a NS could have a whole other opinion. My NS sat there and explained it to me. When you have your appointment make sure you ask for him/her to go through it with you.
