    After countless googles on how to read an MRI of the lumbar, your page came up on my homepage randomly. This is by far the simplest and most informative description ( to a layman ) of how to read an MRI. Great video!

    Dr. Gillard, thank you so very much for this video and taking time to explain everything...I am learning alot. I am 58 and fell from a 6' ladder at work. I have wonderful doctors working with me, who each, have ordered MRI's and X-Rays of my spine and shoulder. I have been told that there is alot of damage, and although they have "explained" the injuries, their description still left me with a lack of understanding. After seeing your video, I became very excited because I am now beginning to understand what they are talking about. I have subscribed, and will be viewing all of your video's. Again, thank you so much.

    Great educational video. Got MRI disc 2 days ago and have listened to your video several times. Just got report of MRI today .. no surprises as I ascertained the problems because of your video. 1. 25 % Spondy L5 ON S1 associated with bilateral pars defect severe foraminal narrowing potential compression of exiting L5 nerve roots. 2. large broad based central disc protrusion at L2/3 which migrates inferiorly, severe compression of the thecal sac. Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Thank you so much. I never watch a video that explains so much in such a short period of time. After watching over 1000 videos I don't think any has explained this so simply and eloquently. You have made the complicated simple. Your comment about the traversing roots budding out of the thecal sac at the L5 level and that a study should be done is brilliant.

Im amazed now to find this video of yours which hopefully enables me to read my own MRI. Thank you for your invaluable service!

      Douglas Gillard, BS, DC, Spine Researcher I have had 20+ back surgeries. I'm fused from T10-L5. I recently had a MRI- which was terrible- in the spinal cord I have a lot of black running thru it. I've been told by Dr.Michael Wang(one of the top neurosurgeons in the world) that from my surgeries and having had a spinal cord stimulator implanted and then removed after 2 years that my cord is wrapped with scar tissue and my peripheral nerves are all clumped with scar tissue. My question is with my last MRI I see a lot of black running thru my cord. Is that what scar tissue would look like in the cord? My pain management/an orthopedic(so he is supposed to be) local dr is not really educated in the severity of my problems I've had with failed fusions. He doesn't do fusion etc. He does epidurals and pain management mainly. This last MRI, I was told by the Radiology company that they don't really have a good enough machine to take detailed images of my back. I have so much hardware in my back it's so hard to get a decent reading. Thank you. I know by not looking at the images you obviously can't diagnose but just looking for a opinion. Thank you have a great day.
