Subject: Usually hear how much dilated, how much effaced, and where the head is, so sm...

it would be something like patient presents at 7 cm dilation, 50% effaced, with the head at -1, or sometimes just as numbers with slashes 7/50/-1. I'm not positive of the order of the values, though. Maybe someone more experienced with OB notes can help you there. You wouldn't have specific numbers like 6.9 etc., at least not that I've ever heard of. nm

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?
