...and the results are in. I'm not sure, but I think it's pretty much what I anticipated in there being very little artifactual evidence for a "mild" TBI. I snipped out what I thought were the salient results...


MR Brain with and without Contrast dated 23 May 2012

CLINICAL HISTORY: 53-year-old male with a 30 year history of
headaches.

FINDINGS: There are a few scattered small foci of nonspecific
nonenhancing T2/flair signal abnormality in the white matter without
co-localized regions of restricted diffusion which could reflect
evidence of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of
this age. There is suggestion of a focal area of ill-defined
enhancement in the right forceps major on present image 17 series 10)
which is not clearly visualized on the sagittal postcontrast images,
and is without correlate on additional imaging sequences, likely
related to pulsation artifact. Alternatively, this could represent a
small capillary telangiectasia. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or
acute infarction is seen. No focal brain parenchymal lesion is
present. No mass effect or midline shift. Ventricular size is within
normal limits. No abnormal extra-axial fluid collections. No
evidence of abnormal brain parenchymal or extra-axial enhancement.
