Not looking for medical answers, looking for general answers to common radiology terms being used in an MRI
(1) I am just curious on what part of the MRI would Optical Nerves would be under? Would it be Visualized Sinuses? Or is that Orbits?
(2) What does it mean for sinus to be assymetic hypoplasia (I AM NOT ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE OR A DIAGNOSIS) I am just wondering what hypoplasia means. Google says its an underdevelopment of an organ? So does that mean its smaller in nature to the opposing side?
(3) What does Atelectasis mean? It says Google that it's a collapse of... so now I am a bit confused lol.
It says that they noticed a asymetrical hypoplasia (in the visualized sinuses) versus atelecatsis of the left maximillary sinus. So without asking for MY personal medical diagosis or advice, does this mean that they're saying they see the right side is smaller than the left side in this sinus? Thank you
