Mri Readings

[Ron]

Can Anyone Tell Me If A Radiologists Are Suppose To Compare Results From Past Mri's To Current Or New Mri's To Make A Finding Or Conclusion?

[Dr. Joshua]

Usually radiologists will want to see past MRIs, because comparing helps determine whether certain disease processes have progressed. As a rule, past MRIs should be available for the radiologist because they contain valuable information. However, if these are not available, a single MRI is often sufficient for diagnosis of acute symptoms, when back pain and related problems are being diagnosed.
