Findings
RESULT:
**BRAIN:**
Acute Ischemic Change:
There is no evidence of restricted diffusion to suggest an acute infarct.
Hemorrhage:
No evidence of prior parenchymal hemorrhage on the gradient echo images.
Mass Effect / Mass Lesion:
No significant mass effect. No evidence of an intracranial mass or extra-axial fluid collection.
Chronic Ischemic Change:
The white matter is within normal limits of signal intensity for age.
Parenchyma:
No significant volume loss for age. The brain parenchyma is otherwise within normal limits of signal intensity and morphology.
Ventricles:
Normal caliber and morphology.
Skull Base:
Hypothalamic and pituitary region are grossly normal. Craniocervical junction is normal. No significant marrow replacement process.
Vasculature (Flow void):
Major intracranial arterial structures, and dural venous sinuses show typical flow void, suggesting patency by spin echo criteria.
Sinuses:
The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are grossly clear.
Orbits:
Grossly normal.
Soft Tissues:
The visualized extracranial soft tissues are grossly normal.
INTRACRANIAL MRA:
The visualized distal vertebral and basilar arteries are widely patent. The distal ICAs are patent and within normal limits of caliber. The proximal ACAs, MCAs and PCAs are patent and within normal limits of caliber and configuration. There is no evidence of focal, significant stenosis or aneurysm in the visualized vessels.
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Right Common:
No significant stenosis.
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Right ICA Plaque:
No significant plaque formation.
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Right ICA Stenosis (% NASCET):
[RPercentStenosis]
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Left Common:
No significant stenosis.
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Left ICA Plaque:
No significant plaque formation.
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Left ICA Stenosis (% NASCET):
[LPercentStenosis]
EXTRACRANIAL MRA - Cervical Vertebral Arteries:
Patency: Bilateral. Dominance: Codominant.
Impression
NORMAL EXAMINATION. NO EVIDENCE OF AN ACUTE INTRACRANIAL PROCESS.
