MRI comps
I finally have all of my comps in MRI, so now I am able to take my boards soon. I still have a lot of studying to do because MRI is probably the hardest subject I have ever studied. I love scanning. Each patient is different and I always learn something new, either about the scanner or about pathology. Yesterday I scanned a patient that had a cyrinx. I scanned an MRCP on another patient whose pancreas was enlarged, probably due to pancreatitis. (I have not read the report yet). This patient had recently had a gastric bypass surgery and a miscarriage. I have read recently that there are 5 most common reasons to have pancreatitis. They are alcohol, traumatic events, biliary disease, infections, and being congenital.
