Overview
There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name].
OR
[Location] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
MRI
- Structural MRI of the brain may be helpful in the diagnosis of alzheimer's disease. Characteristic finding on MRI suggestive of alzheimer's disease include: [1] [2] [3]
- Reduced hippocampal volume
- Medial temporal lobe atrophy
- Findings on MRI in an elderly patient with memory loss demonstrates cerebral volume loss, particularly pronounced in the temporal and parietal lobes, consistent with the clinical impression of Alzheimer disease.
- Multiple white matter T2 hyperintense regions are suggestive of chronic small vessel ischemic change.
