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.
