Help! My whole body MRI found a problem!
What to do if your MRI screening exam shows an abnormality:
If you were surprised by a concerning finding on your screening whole body MRI report, if followup or further testing was recommended, or if you are concerned about an abnormality on any medical imaging exam and want to know what’s wrong, submit a consultation request at MD For Patients. We are here for you.
It’s likely that the person who read your screening MRI did not have enough information about you to come to a conclusion about what’s wrong – or even how important the abnormality is. The screening MRI report may recommend that you talk to your doctor about the abnormality.
We are not discouraging you from calling your doctor – but it’s likely that neither you nor your doctor can quickly or easily directly contact a specialist in medical image interpretation, or any other specialist in the medical issues raised by the screening MRI, to answer your questions and help you get the answers you need right away.
For instance, do you need a physician who specializes in brain or spine imaging interpretation? An expert in interpreting images of your knee or shoulder joint? A specialist in liver disease or heart disease?
We have all of these expert physicians and more, ready to go to work for you, to answer your questions quickly, directly, and confidentially, and to help you figure out what to do next. We are here to de-stress what is often a very stressful situation.
Also, we won’t limit ourselves to simply looking at your whole body MRI in isolation, because we know from our own decades of medical specialty training and clinical experience that to examine just one imaging test that shows your body at just a single point in time without proper context cannot give you the diagnostic accuracy and peace of mind that you need right now.
Instead, we will re-interpret your scan in the specific context of you and your health, which is critical to figuring out its relevance to you, your unique medical history, your current situation at this point in time, and your best next steps to seeking better healthcare.
To do that, we will evaluate your other medical records and the tests you’ve had in the past, and then form an expert opinion about what the concerns raised about findings seen in your whole body screening MRI report actually mean – to you – at this point in your life.
We will help you quickly figure out what’s wrong, whether it even needs further evaluation, and if so: exactly what the next steps are, to put your mind at ease.
Isn’t that really what you want to know at this point? At MD For Patients, we think so, and we are here to help. Request a consultation with us now.
