MRI Second Opinion
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - is a diagnostic procedure used to produce detailed high resolution cross-sectional images of the human body.
An MRI is particularly effective for imaging soft tissues in the body, such as the brain, spinal cord, ligaments (joints) or internal organs. Unlike computed tomography, this kind of medical scan uses not X-rays, but a strong magnetic field.
Depending on the clinical issue, a contrast agent (usually gadolinium-based) is sometimes applied to improve the visibility of certain structures or processes.
The examination results in a radiologist's report with the interpretation of the MRI findings and conclusions regarding the nature of the detected abnormalities.
Can MR scans give false information?
Although MR imaging is an extremely effective diagnostic tool, its findings are not always unequivocal. Errors in MRI interpretation do happen, and they can significantly affect a patient's prognosis.
A wrong assessment may consist in the so-called false positive result, when a normal finding is interpreted as pathological. In a false negative result, an abnormality (e.g. a tumor) escapes the attention of the specialist who reads the images. Both options are fraught with dangerous consequences due to unnecessary intervention or, on the contrary, lack of necessary treatment. A second opinion on MRI can help to make sure that the diagnosis and the radiologist's conclusions are correct.
Why may I need to have my MRI findings reviewed?
With the MRI second opinion service, an alternative description and interpretation of available MRI images can be obtained.
It might be helpful:
β’ to prove the existing diagnosis;
β’ to confirm indications for further exams, e.g. a biopsy;
β’ to obtain a more detailed description of MRI scans;
β’ to make the right choice if there are different opinions regarding the volume of surgery;
β’ to get an opinion of an acknowledged specialist whenever the quality of the existing report is doubtful.
An expert MRI second opinion from a radiologist is a review of imaging diagnostic data with an independent evaluation of the study results. Detailed interpretation and objective conclusions will give confidence and support decision-making at key stages of disease management.
What is a second medical opinion on MRI scans?
The result of the consultation is a written opinion of a radiologist on your MRI images, with comments on the quality and informative value of the available imaging data, detailed reading of the scans, conclusions regarding the possible nature of the detected suspicious lesions, neoplasms and other abnormalities. The doctor's second opinion may also include an assessment of dynamics (if previous data are provided for comparison) and recommendations regarding further strategy (additional examination of the discovered pathologic changes, regular follow-ups).
What records do I need to share to get a second opinion on my MRI?
The following data is requested to obtain a reading and an assessment of radiologic study findings:
- files with current PET/CT images;
- files with the previous study (in case comparative evaluation is necessary);
- anamnesis (in the form of a doctor's report or a completed questionnaire);
- initial MRI reading (if the purpose of obtaining a second opinion includes clarification of disputable issues in the available report).
What are the available MRI second opinion types?
Written consultation:
- A report signed by the expert radiologist with PET-CT image readings and the specialist's conclusions. Report size: up to 1 page.
Video consultation:
- All services contained in the written second opinion plus an up to 15-minute video conference with the radiologist in which the consulting expert comments on the imaging, explains the conclusions, discusses the recommended plan and answers the patient's questions.
Phone consultation:
