Sites to understand MRI images?
I recently had an MRI of the head and brain and don't have a radiology report, but do have a CD of the images. Do you know of any good sites to help "read" and understand these images before my appointment with a Neurosurgeon?
Thanks for your time!

It takes about 15 years of hands on and academic study to finally qualify as a neurosurgeon. That's before you get real experience.
There are no reliable sites to help you read MRIs. Wait and see what the NS says.
Hey, This is my time :) I'm an MRI techinician and the only way you can read it is by doctors, people who really know all the diseases of the brain. If you look at an MRI like this one ---> http://www.k-state.edu/parasitology/upton-tumor-3e... you can see that is a tumor. But there are so many bumps and stuff on our head that only doctors know. So i dont want you to get scared by looking at your images and saying oh my god i have a tumor!! if you could post up the images of your head i can identify it.
