Question Understanding MRI Report
Does anyone know where I could get some help understanding an MRI Report of my Brain? The report states: There are patent arterial vascular flow-voids at the skull base. I don't know what that means. I tried searching on the internet but did not have much luck.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Understanding MRI Report
Sounds like your plumbing is working just fine with in your vascular system in your brain. Could be mistaken, but I think that is what it is saying.
