How to read your own MRI scan

In this video, Dr. Evan explains how to look at your own MRI scan by showing you the correct orientation, what "slices" mean, what "sequences" are, and much more!

I am glad to have found your website! I have never had any radiologist or specialist explain things like this or offer a video!!!! So great!

Thumbs UP for your willingness to teach us on how to read our own images. I remember once this doctor in another country looking at me and answering me, " why do you want to know where your fracture is, are you a doctor ?". That reaction placed him at the base of the pedestal in his profession. And this other one, an specialist in reumathology, telling " No, I am not a radiologist to be able to read your CT scan or MRI of your compression fractures". Many thanks indeed for what you are doing.

There's always a tendency to grimace when one hears "Yeah, I learned how to self-trepanate on YouTube", but I do salute your empowering patients to be able to read their own scans. Thank you so much for the informative video.

Now, would you be able to provide info about a free software that will allow ALL my CT, MRI accumulated thru the years, to open up in my laptop with no problem? Lately, past 3 years is becoming worst because those CD given too me by hospitals keep showing zero bytes and although I see some activity in my laptop, they never open and some they look as if no data is in the CD. So, somebody out there is trying to stop transparency in our own health. Many thanks again.

And my last ... consult, how "hemorrage" would show in an MRI on Tesla 3.0. What color? It was written so, after my last compression fracture of my L4. Many thanks in advance.

The white glowing ring around the brain MRI is soft tissue around the head? Not the skull?
