what does my mri mean?!
Question:
knees
Answers:
I am a MRI tech. The best advice I could give you, other than waiting for your doctor's appointment, would be to visit websites with MRI images of the knee. Look for what a normal ACL looks like, then for an abnormal one. You can then try to compare it to yours. But, I will tell you that you are going to have a hard time trying to diagnose yourself. Good luck!

Unless you're a physician or a radiologist, you'll just have to wait. It's not that easy to interpret.
Nothing. An MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a test done to check for a variety of problems. An MRI of the knees is usually done to check to look for tears in the meniscus or cartilage of the knee or problems with the tendons or ligaments. You just wrote knee but didn't include a diagnosis, so it means nothing.
Leave the interpretation to the guy who went to college to learn to read the MRI film. I know it can be trying, but you need to be patient. Even if you were told to look for anomalies, you still wouldn't know exactly what you were looking at. Sorry, you'll just have to wait.
All MRI films come with a written print out from the doctor who took them describing in full the findings.you would probably get more answers from the results sheet.
