Short spoken account explaining benign incidental MRI findings: a longstanding benign liver cyst, small benign brain lesions (spots), and mild degenerative spinal changes. The speaker treats these as baseline, not alarming, and notes intervention would be considered if new or changing findings appear.

Chapters

I have a cyst on my liver that I had five years ago, and it's benign. And if I went to, say, this family practice, he might send me a surgeon, might take that thing out, which is benign. So you have to understand that there's normal things. We call them incidental, almost things are incidental that are things that we don't need to worry about. It's good to know that. But really looking for aneurysms. They even saw some degenerative arthritis. I have a little bit of degenerative disease in my spine. Not bad. So good to know it's not bad. And they saw some little lesions in my brain that are benign. I've had them for years that are just spots. So I know that's my baseline. So seeing them there was not alarming. And then if there was something there that was new, well, then I know I have to take interventions.
