There are a lot of confusing things you can see on an MRI report, on an x-ray report or an ultrasound report when you're a runner with pain that you think might be a stress fracture.

I want to explain what that is so you can better understand it in case you happen to see it on an MRI report, x-ray report or in your doctor's notes.
