Subject: radial

No doc says radian, ulnar and median nerve distribution. I was just wondering if there was a radian nerve, since QA keeps marking it as radial and then radian and then radial, (I keep getting graded on that word and just wanted to know if I was right or wrong). It is radial. radian is a math measurement of some sort.

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?
