CT Scan

[Guest guest]

Best wishes for your CT scan. I have been through several of them and they

were no biggie for me. An MRI is usually done on the brain, but it can be

done on other parts of the body also. I have had an MRI also.

The giant balls are great, aren't they? I have also recently discovered yoga

as being great for scoliosis, and also swimming. My kids and I just joined a

health club which has an indoor pool, and we are loving it.

Hi Carol!

I enjoyed your post about your boys. It put a smile on my face. So

there now we are even. My post about my CI Moment put one on your face and

your's made me smile. That is what is soooo good about these forums. Good

luck with the results of Kristian's CT Scan! And happy looking at it. I

got a real nice souviner, from my ENT, after my surgery. He took a picture

of the implant inside my cochlea and gave it to my sisters to give to me

later on. I was sooo sick that week that I didn't see it for a whole week.

It's a great 8 X 6 colored picture and shows the electrodes running through

my cochlea to my brain. I had to sign a release prior to surgery for

allowing a picture to be taken; but my ENT refused to divulge why I a

picture would be taken so this was a real nice surprise that week! LOL I

got a quick peek of it before my niece asked if she could take it to school

with her. A Psychology teacher found out, from one of his students about my

implant and so he asked my niece to do a presentation for the whole class.

I was laying on the couch and giving her as much information as my fuzzy

brain could give 6 days after surgery. It was funny!!! I was looking at my

picture one second then next minute, " Can I take it to school with me for

the presentation? " And oops they were leaving that very minute so there

goes the picture. I barely got a peek of it beause I was so busy helping

her prepare for her presentation. It was not even for a class she takes.

She did a good job!!! Now she says the psychology teacher always stops her

in the hall and asks about my progress. The picture got back to me safe and

sound 3 weeks later. It's really neat to see the electrodes running through

my head. My eye doctor is in awe of it. I had to take in to show him

because he wanted a lesson on how my implant works. He was just amazed

that I can now hear his voice.

Enough babble for now. Have a good day and good luck to Kristian on CT

Scan day!

Hello there,

My name is Pam and I live in Anchorage, Alaska. I'm in the evaluative stages

for a cochlear implant at age 62.

My right hearing loss was caused by surgery to remove an acoustic neuroma in

1994. Then 6 weeks later I sustained a contralateral loss in the left ear.

I'm very concerned about the cochlear implant procedure having any effect on

my balance nerve and facial nerve. Has anyone had experience with acoustic

neuromas and cochlear implants? The acoustic neuroma left me with many after

effects but I do cherish what little I have left (my facial nerve is in tact and

I can walk and participate in life without falling over) and don't want to

rock the apple cart.

Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Pam

When the discussion about needing both MRI and CT scan came up

some time ago, some ehat was generated over the need for MRI. So I

asked my surgeon why he requests both from his CI patients. His

answer was pretty simple.

I know where you're coming from, I had the operation

done polyps removed,both sides septum done. For three

months nothing then sence of smell returned but only

lasted four months. Went to the doctor and polyps had

returned.Started a heavy prgram of prednisone for 10

days and smell returned for only a month. Wow, the

sides effects sucked form using so much steriod. So

now I'am scheduled to see the doctor in November.By

the way its been three years since my surgery.

I have noticed the same thing in my numerous CT scans. The

smell/taste is almost metallic, but somehow different. It is like

nothing I have ever experienced before. The tech who scanned me had

never heard of it, either. It seemed like it was only there when the

scan passed over a certain part of the sinuses, but it has been long

enough that I cannot remember exactly where it may have been.

I think I felt claustrophobic because I didn't like the sensation of moving back

and forth and then being still for a few minutes. At any rate, it's over now so

I'm happy.

Where is your port? You mean they scanned your abdomen all the way up

to your ribs? I suppose someone could think it was like a cath port

for chemo, since that's how I often explain it to people who know how

that works. Of course the port is going to the band instead of into

an artery.

But if there is inflamation around it, that sounds like an issue.

What is the reason they did the CT of your abdominal area anyway?

Dan,

A few weeks back I posted all my stomach/abdomin/bowel issues and listed all

the tests that had been done on me to see what is causing my unexplained medical

issues/pain/swelling/boat/gas/etc.The Ct scan covered my entire front from

breast to below the butt.My port is located to the left of my belly button.If I

place my hands on my hips my middle finger sits directly on my port.I told the

tech about my lap band but whoever read must have been unaware of my lapband as

they refere to it as a catheter.One DR. thinks my symptoms/pain is IBS related

and another PC DR thinks it may be adhesions causing my pain.Neither one thinks

anything needs to be done to fix my pain/symptoms..

My symptoms have improved since I took a 2 week course of Xifaxan.I am still

trying to get my script for Probiotics to be covered by insurance(need a tar).I

suggested to the DR that maybe it was Small intestinal bowel overgrowth and he

said very possible.I have had great relief with just the 2 week course of meds.I

want to follow up with 2 weeks of probiotics as soon as it goes through

insurance.I think my body gets overrun with bad bacteria which in turn sets off

a host of issues within.

Thanks for any advise

Either I'm getting senile (definitely possible) or else that was when

I was barely skimming stuff while at my daughter's house in Chicago.

Just curious on reading a CT Scan. When at docs. I took a peak at my CT Scan. One side had a bunch of "dark" spots which the tech said was "air". I guess that is good.

The other side was completely solid gray....does that mean I have a bad infection on this side?

[Guest guest]

Wow I never knew that I was just looking at my scans and there is no honey comb

that explains my surgery 4 mastoidectomy.

I think, but I really have no clue, the dark area looked honey combish against the gray color. The other side of my head on the CT Scan was solid. No difference in color.

I should have asked the doc. to go over my CT Scan with me. Makes me mad I didn't.

Do docs. usually break out the CT scan and go over it with their patients?

Our doc showed us breifly on the computer screen. He had briefly explained the area that showed him the need for surgery. Any other time my son's had ct's they didn't show us the image at all-when all was fine. I've noticed docs don't go into much detail unless you really ask for it. I'm guessing alot of people don't care to know all the details, just want the problem solved... so they don't usually go into a lesson. I'm sure if you ask for more details they'll give it though.

Yea, I am very curious person and would love to have a free lesson from a Doc.

I need to learn to ask more questions while I am there, when I have their time and attention. I'm not good at all at asking questions when at the Docs office.

Brad,I'm curious too and I got a copy of both the dvd and the typed report from the hospital that did my scans in 2009. I was able to look at the DVD on my computer and read the report before I saw the surgeon, then wrote my questions down and took to pre-op. It was in the report that the radiologist had mentioned all the stuff and I was able to form my questions around what he reported. The report read something like this..."chronic mastioditis, deteriation of the mastiod and sigmoid plate, and noted lunacy in the T1&T2 regions....suspected c-toma", he also mentioned "as noted in 2006 MRI". I went and got a copy of the MRI report immediately and the DVD. I was soooo ^@#* angry that my neurologist told me my MRI was clear in 2006. He did not refer me to an ENT or neurotologist! So mine grew for an additional 3 years! So, from now on I ask to see the reports and get a copy of scans. I'm no doctor but I'm an reasonably educated person and can look stuff up, which is how I found this site. I say ask, ask, ask away!!!LOL-I was not a good girl either but no drunkard. I'd love to know if my fun-loving, college drinking, beer loving may have caused my C-toma or helped it grow. If you find out let us know.

The other side was completely solid gray....does that mean I have a bad infection on this side?
