I'm getting an MRI tomorrow. Glad it was not today!:danger:

Ask for a DVD copy of your MRI. You and/or your insurance company paid for it, so you are entitled to a free copy. The disc usually auto-loads and comes with a reader utility that will run when you click on the MRI image in the contents screen. You can view it, pan the images, and zoom in and out. There's usually a tool that will let you measure anything on the screen by clicking on one side and then the other to see the size of anything in the image.

The MRI tech can make the copy in just a few minutes after the scan is done.

I got one when I had mine done too. Now my son cd was hard to get from the Children’s Hospital, they gave us the run around to get a copy.

I asked for a disc copy the other day after a scan. The tech brought it out to me 10 minutes after the scan.

I had a followup CT scan the other day to compare a calcified nodule in my left lung to make sure there was no growth from the scan a couple of years ago. It was 4mm back then (smaller than a BB). I used the disc tools from the new scan to measure it myself before I go back for a checkup. It's still 4mm. Calcified nodules can result from lung infections. I had a severe case of the flu a couple of years ago and the nodule showed up afterwards on a CT scan. The doctor said he'd do another in the future to check. Good news is that it's static, which indicates that it's not a concern.

FWIW, calcified nodules in an X-ray are common and aren't a problem unless they grow significantly over time. Most occur from some sort of lung infection related to a bad cold or flu that infects the lungs. Mine showed up after I had the flu 3 years ago. The lungs are able encapsulate foreign substances in the lungs by surrounding them with calcium.

My doctor recommended a follow-up CT scan to make sure it didn't grow. It didn't, so I'm relieved! It's been two years since it showed up on a routine X-ray and it's still the same size.

I need a recommendation. My GF has been using Kangertek Nano mod and atty since they first came out, she is very partial to them. Of course they are now scarce.

I built her a couple of the Hanamodz DNA200s and she has warmed up to them. She runs them in wattage mode at about 20ish watts with her old Nanotanks.

What is a good current 22mm cartridge atty that would compare to the Nano in terms of hit?

Until a few years ago I had pneumonia at least once a year from severe colds that settled in my lungs (doc said my job was killing me). As a result chest exrays and MRIs show lots and lots of scars. If I didn't know what they are……

Maybe this?

Joyetech eGo ONE Mega V2 Tank

Various coils available, and if desired, the CLR head rebuilds like a slightly larger Kanger single coil.
