This tool explains words. It does not treat people.

MRIdecoder is a general educational tool. It translates the language used in MRI reports into plain English. It is not a medical device, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Do not use MRIdecoder to

• Decide whether to start, stop, or delay any treatment.
• Decide whether to have surgery or an injection.
• Manage an emergency. If you have symptoms such as sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, severe unrelenting pain, or fever with back pain, call your local emergency number.
• Replace a qualified radiologist, surgeon, GP, or specialist.

Do use MRIdecoder to

• Understand what the words in your report mean.
• Prepare useful questions for your appointment.
• Feel a little less alone while you wait to see your doctor.

By using MRIdecoder you accept that any action you take based on its output is your own responsibility.
