It sounds like you have some careful docs. I work in an ICU, and we never get the MRI results until somebody from radiology has looked over them very carefully, which you really can't do while they're being performed. They sit down at a light board or computer screen with a magnifier and go over the scans to make sure that they don't miss anything. It's good practice, and it sounds like you have a good team, since they didn't just spout off what they thought without checking first. You hang in there, the results they give you may not be what you like, or they may be! But it sounds like they will be as accurate as possible!!

Keep us posted!
