what is increased T2 in a parient lobe?
89709
I think what you may be referring to is increased signal intensity in a T2 weighted MRI of the parietal lobe of the brain.\n\nParietal lobe: This is a segment of the brain mostly concernly with interpreting your senses eg. touch, pain, temperature etc\n\nT2: A T2 weighted MRI is a special kind of scan mostly used for looking at the brain.\nWhen an area on the MRI appears brighter than expected, the radiologists call it "increased signal intensity", and this is due to any increase in water content within that area of the brain, eg. inflammation, tumour, swelling etc.

Yes, it's very possible to get results like this. MRI, CT and PET all work very differently and all highlight very different things. A mass can be obvious in one method and be virtually invisible in another. There are also many different types of MRI scans, and they each highlight different anatomic structures.\n\nYou should start by talking to your doctor about what is going on here. Have they reached a diagnosis which might explain the discrepancy, or are they still trying to determine what is going on? You should also talk with your doctor about having all of the scans read again by an experienced radiologist in order to get a second opinion on their interpretation.

I had similar results when my hypothyrodism started. Try to check with a endocrinologist - they are a lot more qualified than familty practice doctors to analyze the results. Good luck

Do you mean pyriform? This is all I found:\n\nhttp://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/medical/pyriform_lobe.htm\n\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pyriform

I had a similar problem, so I will tell you my story(hope it helps and doesn't bore you to death). This all happened after I had my daughter...I don't know if pregnancy caused it or if it was just coincidental. I first found out about my enlarged thyroid when I was sick. I went to the doctor for being sick, and she told me my thyroid was enlarged and wanted to run tests. I had felt it, but it wasn't that large at the time, so I just thought it was a swollen gland from infection. I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were normal. I went to an endocrinologist and he checked my levels again...normal. At that time, he told me that my only option was to have it removed because he couldn't treat it with medicine if my levels were fine. It wasn't very noticeable then, and I couldn't bare the thought of having my throat cut(he also told me insurance would not cover it because they would consider it 'cosmetic'). Anyway, over the course of the next 2-3 yrs, it gradually grew bigger and bigger. I had my levels checked several more times and they were always normal. I finally went to a new doctor, and she immediately referred me to a surgeon. The first time I saw him, he said it needed to come out. He said the larger it gets, the more chance there is of getting cancer in it. He measured my thyroid and my left nodule was 6cm wide. In January of last year, I had my entire thyroid removed leaving nothing but my parathyroid glands. My thyroid had grown so large that it wrapped around my esophogus and surgery lasted 6 hrs. I now take thyroid replacement hormones daily. If it does not go down, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist. The scar is barely noticeable. They make the incision so that it fits right in with the wrinkles in your neck. I hope this gave you a little insight. By the way, I was never diagnosed with anything other than a simple 'goiter'. \n\nI don't have any professional knowledge of this, but I believe that different people may possible have different ranges of what is 'normal' for their thyroid.  I find it hard to believe that I had all of the above problems, and probably some I forgot to mention, and didn't have even slightly low/high thyroid levels.  I would see another doctor, if not for the simple reason as this:  my surgeon told me that the longer the goiter sits there(and keeps growing and growing)the more likely you are to get cancer in your thyroid.  Good luck.

cause on this ratio u will control the magnetic field out from the magnet .. and every time u increase the magnetic field u in crease the resonance frequency .. and this frequency the main idea of the imaging on the MRI .. cause on it we will have the T1 and T2 .. which is the techniques of imaging

Early sexual stimulation and love and affection allow the cortex to grow faster and usually leaves an extra fold in the brain's outer layer. Now you explain why you think it is proper to ask mentally ill people about photographic memories. Do you know something you didn't tell us in the question. Why not be fully honest with us?

Nobody could really answer this question with the information you gave.  A fluid filled area (such as a cyst) can look white on a T2 MRI sequence, but can look much different on a T1 sequence or almost black on a FLAIR sequence.  An area that looks white on a FLAIR, can look darker on a T1.  So you would have to know on what sequence is it white.....\n\nTake your films or at least your report to your doctor, or better yet, a neurologist.  They should easily be able to answer your questions.  Remember, there are no dumb questions.  Good luck to you.

It involves the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the thyroid, and thyroid hormones (T3/T4). You can do the rest, its pretty simple :)

I would suggest getting a second opinion and have the area imaged using CT or MRI to see what is going on.  While the second doctor may say that it's nothing also, I certainly wouldn't depend on just one opinion.\n\nbest of luck and feel  better.

Yes.  The more you use a neuron network the stronger it becomes.  The increase is minuscule, but certainly large enough to measure.  Good luck in your quest for more knowledge. Ciao!\n-C

All of the above reasons. Plus, if a patient is on heparin, he/she will have elevated aPTT levels too.

The globe is definately the eye ball.  What the density can be, I don't know.  When is your appointment with the neurologist?  When the radiologist I work for reads out a MRI, and he finds something abnormal, he will usually give examples of what it could be.  It is called a differential diagnosis.  Do you have a report from the radiologist?

because of more blood flow in that region
