Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is a limited ultrasound examination directed solely at identifying the presence of free intraperitoneal or pericardial fluid. In the context of traumatic injury, free fluid is usually due to haemorrhage and contributes to the assessment of the circulation.

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?
