Help on CT results
Subject: Help on CT results

This is a woman with Stage IV malignant mesothelioma.  I'm a little lost on the CT results here.  For part of it I got the words I think, but since I don't totally understand it I'm not sure exactly where commas go, etc.  Then there's the part where I'm not getting the words.  I'll put that part in brackets.  So here goes if anyone can help. 


"On the CT, the impression is chronic occlusion of the central left internal jugular and brachiocephalic (actually sounds more like bronchocephalic but that doesn't seem to be a word so does brachiocephalic make sense here?) right subclavian [vena porous SVC with compression against noticed?] and tracheal deviation."


Help with MRI results

Doctor is saying, "...central disc herniation at the C3-C4 level impressing the ventral cord and a central disc protrusion at C6-C7, which s/l bifaces the ventral subarachnoid cord."


It sounds like he's saying bifaces.  Could that be correct?  If not, any suggestions?

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?
Mammogram results help
Subject: Mammogram results help

This is from someone who mumbles and stumbles over words all the time, so I'm not sure how helpful my sounds likes are going to be, but I'll give it a try.


"Mammograms were performed and compared to previous studies available.  There was no [s/l change breaths or chains breast] or heterogeneous [s/l stem cell?].  There is a rectangular density in the superior portion of the right oblique view, which may represent a residual from a previous [s/l porta or porter] drain."


Would heterogenous stem cell fit there?  I think that's possible she's saying that, but not sure if that would be from a mammogram result.  I haven't heard that one before.
