Great review! Very thorough
Thanks Dr Jake!
Another awesome Imaging video! I always look forward to your imaging videos, which give me a better perspective on the salient features I should look for when ordering imaging. I always like to interpret any imaging to avoid relying on a radiologist 👍
So glad to hear it. I’ve been meaning to ask you, what is your specialty? Thanks as always for watching!
@@JakeGibbonsMD@JakeGibbonsMD I am a full-scope family medicine resident. I am thinking about applying for a high-risk OB-GYN fellowship this year!

Is the grainy signal of the bone marrow on t2 normal? And if yes, why is it so?
Yeah the bone marrow signal is often kind of heterogeneous on T2. I use my T1 for the bones and anything darker than neighboring muscle on T1 is something to worry about.
Excellent. Please do a video on how to grade mild ,moderate and severe stenosis of neural foramina please .
For sure, I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime, I think this diagram from radiopedia is pretty good

This was very informative, but not as helpful when looking at my MRI. Apparently, I have cervical spondylolisthesis and I can find no information on it.
Great video! I almost mastered my 'CZcams correspondence course on Cervical Spine Radiology'.
I'm using these courses plus my AI bot to decipher my XRay & MRI images prior to deciding what to do with my Cervical Radiculopathy.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
