### 5/5 — Easy to understand!

*2019-07-25, version 1.5*

Whether newly diagnosed or a long way down your MRI journey this tool not only helps to understand MRIs in a way “real people” can understand them, but debunks some misconceptions I had. There isn’t always time when my doctor’s in the room or I think of a question later, and this tool has been a great reference. Helpful not only for me but for my support team!
