My son has just had an MRI which indicates he has encephalomalacia. He previously had an MRI which was read as a meningoma. Does the difference in diagnosis depend on the quality of the machine and/or the radiologist ? What is the treatment for encephalomalacia? Thank you
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The difference in diagnosis is mostly due to the interpretation of the results by the radiologist. The machines usually show sections at the set levels of thickness. You can take a second opinion from another radiologist after showing him the MRI prints. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
