I Just Had My MRI Scan Done Today..

[Lance1]

That's Magnetic resonance imaging for those that don't know.. O! HAHA. That's Me!! I had the scan done more then an hour and a half from home. 3 Hours round trip.. Not including traffic. They gave me a CD with the images for the orthopedic surgeon. O! Ya.. I didn't say what all this was about did I. I tore the tendon in my bicep and also tore my rotator cuff.. Fun! I know... Anyway I drove home, it was I very nice day. Anyway I got home and put the CD in looked through the images and YA! Goblygook to me. But then I thought that I could make an interesting video out of this.. so I took all the images and put them in sequence. And this is the result. Buy the way.. I find out on Monday if I need surgery or not. Anyway here's the anatomy of my shoulder! I guess you have to go to school for 13 years to know what your looking at.

Very interesting video. Good luck with the results Lance1.

Thanks Paul. I'll post back here on Monday after my appointment. It's Gobbledygook isn't it. Or is it just me?

Hi Lance1,

Most people don't get to see something like that. They hear of people having an MRI scan and don't really understand the implications or what it involves. Your video shows those!
Thanks for sharing and good luck Monday.

You're not meant to understand it, as it's for the radiologist and the surgeon and who-knows-who-else. I had 2, 1 before each knee replacement. An MRI takes multiple pictures that are thin slices of the whole picture. Imagine slicing an apple, including the stem, skin, pits and core, into very thin slices. Now line them up in order. Other than that, I know nothing.

I now have X-rays of my knee implants, alas only 2 of each, not enough for a video.

But I like your initiative in making a video. What program did you use?

Hi RoWin7. I use my PhotoStage Slideshow Producer. I can create videos through images with it. This is actually my third MRI. 1 of my back. 1 of my hip and 1 shoulder. I have all thee CD's. There just fascinating to look at.

I'm not too good with multimedia. Is the program intuitive?

Well I found it fairly easy to figure out. Here's some screen shots from the NCH web site to look through. PhotoStage Screenshots And if you want to play with it you can download a free version here---> PhotoStage "FREE" Version This guy made a series of tutorials on the PhotoStage free version. It'll give you a good running start and you'll be making your own slide shows and videos before you know it. Take a look.

Hi RoWin7. I'm not quite sure what you are referring to here. Can you elaborate please...

 

[RoWin7]

In one of my other forums, we used the 4 colons with italics to pretend we're doing something. I'm jumping up and down with excitement, and running out to play with PS.
I wonder if I can make a video of my knee X-rays.

The other comment: Guy said he made a demo video, but didn't give us the URL.

Good luck tomorrow!

Yes you can! Instead of telling you I'll show you.

I seen the specialist today and he says that it's nonsurgical. That's good news! But I do need to have steroid injections done. So another 2 to 3 weeks till I can return to work. It's been such a nice vacation!

Steroid injections can work wonders!

I once had once for horrible back pain, and it was heavenly.

I had it done in my hip. I watched the needle on the monitor guide through into my hip. I felt nothing but it was weird to watch. I wonder if this procedure in the morning is going to be any different in my shoulder.

Hi Lance1,

I had one in my ankle joint because I smashed my foot up and had to have it rebuilt with plates and screws etc. I also watched it on the monitor, truly a fascinating experience. It took a lot longer than it was supposed to have taken because they kept hitting the plates or screws and had to pull the flexible needle out and start again!

I hope all goes well!
