What Does This MRI Report Of Brain Indicate?

default
Posted on Mon, 6 Oct 2014
Question: I have another mri photo of my brain from Renown Medical Center that shows two foreign objects that look black in the leftside of my brain in the white area. I blew up one of the foreign objects up and I can clearly see that one of the foreign objects is a microchip. But the Doctors at Renown tried to tell me on 10/9/12 this mri was normal. Could you please take a look at my brain mri for 10/9/12 and the other pictures of the foreign objects blown up that I seen in my 10/9/12 brain mri photo that you are going to look at.

Brief Answer:
No microchip is visible

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
The pictures sent by you are from a CT scan done on 10-09-2012.

The foreign object you suspect is space filled by air. This is in the right mastoid bone, just behind the ear. In my experience and to the best of my knowledge, it does not look like a microchip. The surrounding bone and soft tissues are intact.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Not copper, its calcium from bones

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

I admit there might be something that I am missing but sorry to say that it does not qualify me as a liar. May I request you to send me a more clear blown up picture of the copper area that you see. This is because I only see calcium in the pictures and that is from the bones.

Hope your query is answered.

You blow the picture up yourself and take a closer look at it. Look I have a radio frequency bug detector that detects microchips. I was standing outside by the RF bug detector and when I put it close to my head it would light up and when I moved it way from from head the light would go off.

Brief Answer:
Please send entire CT series of pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

As you suggested, I have blown up the image but would surely like to have a look at all the images in the series. If the RF detector bug is sensing signals then we need to assess more images because the suspected microchip can be anywhere through the head and absence of a foreign object in one image does not rule it out completely. The possibility of a cochlear implant cannot be excluded in this image.

Hope your query is answered.
