Subject: CT of the head
The patient has a history of a remote-appearing lacunar infarct within the left frontal lobe adjacent to the left frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle and mild periventricular white matter chronic small-vessel disease on CT scan of the head without contrast.
I am just concerned with the ..periventricular white matter chronic small-vessel disease

help on MRI of the head results
Subject: help on MRI of the head results
The patient had an MRI with gadolinium of the head. I'm having some trouble understanding the results because this is unfamiliar to me. She is a cancer patient with metastatic melanoma and the MRI was ordered due to severe vomiting and blurry vision. He says the MRI "revealed no definite metastatic disease, significant [s/l hypotense? maybe hypodense or hypertensive?] [s/l mara signal?] of the cervical spine of unclear significance, heterogeneous [s/l coabnormality?], for which in matter of fact these cannot be excluded." That last phrase sounds a little weird too, but I'm pretty sure that's what he says. Any ideas?
