| Examination: MRI BRAIN WO/W CONT Indication: WHO grade 2 astrocytoma in the left parietal region, status post gross total resection. Comparison: Most recent MRI from April 20, 2013 Technique: Non-contrast Head: Axial T1, axial T2, axial diffusion. Post-contrast Head: 3D FLAIR (Sag, Ax, & Cor), axial diffusion. Axial, coronal & sagittal T1. Contrast: Contrast Agent Prohance 15 ml 07/20/2013 INTRAVENOUS Findings: Again identified stable changes related to left-sided craniotomy. The left parietal lobe resection cavity is unchanged in appearance since the prior exam. The prior described nonenlarged T2/FLAIR hyperintensities surrounding the medial and anterior aspect of the inferior part of the resection cavity (604/38 and 39) unchanged in appearance since the prior exam. Hypointense signal involving the medulla on T2 appear to be artifacts. Postcontrast imaging demonstrates linear enhancement in the surgical cavity underlying the craniotomy this is unchanged from the prior exam. No nodular enhancement in the surgical bed. Small DVA in right frontal lobe. There is no acute infarction. No mass effect no hydrocephalus. The major intracranial flow voids show expected appearance. Bilateral paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. Bilateral orbits are normal.

More Cherries
Taking a break from packing, unpacking, and the joys of moving (it's too hot for this...ugh), to share some news about another cherry run. Back by the graciousness (is that a word?) of Kings Market and Market Place in Friday Harbor, my dad and our buddy Ron delivered another batch of cherries, this time organic. So if you haven't gotten your fill of sweet stuff, or know someone who wants to get regular...ahem....please feel free to purchase some delicious cherries to celebrate summer.
Dan, and my family, and I appreciate the support so much!
