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?
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.
Thank you. I'm an MRI Tech and this is helpful for me too.
Very glad to hear it. Thanks for the work that you do.

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