This is an incredible video, I absolutely love the format you are showing, it really helps explain so many details of a MRI of the brain that you just can't comprehend elsewhere! Thanks so much for this video and please definitely do more like this!!

[meloneyparker]

I love this format. Love. But, it reminds me of the deficiencies of my neurologists who just glossed over my MRI without explaining much.

[georgenep]

What areas/functions are affected by those lesions? What does life look like?

[candyduncan]

I would like to see more videos like this..they say knowledge is power!!

[nk]

How old was this patient and what age were they diagnosed? Also what type of MS?

[daludiaries]

I'm definitely interested. I'd like to see a brain that is not very affected but clearly has MS. ...also spots versus how it manifests in the person's physical abilities.

Thank you so much - Very Informative- On my first MRI in 2004, the technician said "Collect your CD in evening". I thought to myself, Lots of noise in MRI and he wants to give me a CD 🤣 - I was hilariously naive back then

[thebonefish]

Thank you for this video. My doctors shy away from actually going into prognosis.

[jjkouper]

FYI - a good Neurologist won’t look at the report from the radiologist-
Instead a great Neuro will look at the MRI him/herself 👍
Dr B is a great neuro 👍👍👍

[petmur]

Very interesting
It would be good to know what functions in the body these legions effect? Eg walking, sight, touch etc?

[andreacatura]

Super informative! Would love to see a video explaining the correlation between a brain scan and the patient’s symptoms and why scans are/are not A predictor of decline.

[megd]

Yes, very interested in videos like this! What I’d also like to know is how does a person with this type of scan present clinically? What are symptoms and/or deficits displayed? Thanks, Dr. B!

[chrisc]

In my 10 years plus of reviewing my MRIs with my MS doctor I have never seen such a concise and methodical presentation, can’t wait to see your explanation of how MS affects the spine. Thank you for taking the time every week to prepare these video presentations.

Thank u for teaching us Dr A 🌻💗💯love from Australia

[chucko]

Good morning Dr. Boster. This was a great video. Thanks. Also would definitely like to see more videos like this.

[figlina]

Thank you so much, this is so useful! Does this person have relapsing- remitting or progressive ms?

[maryblick]

Absolutely want more MRI examples and your analysis. It helps so much to spark questions when we go to our own docs. Thanks!!!

Hi all M.S WARRIORS.
Great content as per, yes very little time is spent in the uk showing people there scans, but if you request them, they are more than happy to show you. Its the way our system works, because the state looks after your & with 75 million to take care of its all about how much time can be spent explaining things pople . That the majority of dont have time to understand the scan, Theres a lot to take in on, in the short time your with your specialists, they do give you a load of paperwork on M.S and links to explain it.
Again thanks for taking the time to explaining M, S to the world,
There is still a lot of ignorance about M.S, & after I was asked how I caught M.S it only hammered home my quest to give M.S a voice.
I will be doing my own u tube channle with all sorts of topics mainly around M.S, mental health ect, thats only the tip of the iceberg, all inspired, in a big part by you Dr Aaron boster, and honoury founding member to MS WARRIOR2021
I shall tell you more of my plan next week, lots to get my head around & very dyslexic

[KristapsKKK]

If you see those scans, can you tell anything about possible impact in everyday life?
Any info about patient, age, therapie, when MS was diagnosted etc would be interesting addition.

Thank you for doing this video Aaron, some of that MRI that you were showing looks similar to what I'm dealing with. I know that means my prognosis is not great to say the least but I'm going to keep fighting. I believe that being active my whole has kept me mobile up to this point and I can't give up. Thankyou for all that you do.
