I have the films from a MRI done to my neck. A C Spine scan, the back of the envelope has a index for diagnoses with numbers that corespond with explanations. Where do I find the numbers on on MRI films? Thank you

That sounds like a list that the radiologists might use in-house for billing purposes. A radiologist would dictate out a report that says something on the order of "this area of the spine shows this, and this part is normal." They wouldn't just use numbers. It seems that it would be too non-specific to give a person the film and say to them, "You have a .41".

Thank you! I've left 3 messages over the past couple of weeks and still have not heard back from my doctor. May try to get the repost from the radiologist myself. Have a great day and thanks again!

kelly,just call the place where you had the MRI done and tell them you want a copy of your own report.they will either do it and you can come in and pick it up,or they will send out a form to release it to you then you send it back and they will send you the radiology report in the mail.it would be much quicker tho if you could just call and then pick it up in one day.you just have to sign for it when you get there.but if you request it,they have to fullfill it.been there,done this way too many times to even count anymore,lol.just give the place a call and they will tell you your options.please let us know what it states in the summary at the very end of your report,this is where they list the hard findings.Marcia
