Jim,

Looking over MANY MRI's, I alway see that the axial images (view from top) are flipped and L side is R.

Sagittal images (views from side) are USUALLY scanned L to R, but I have seen some MRI's with the scan done R to L.

It really sucks when there is no scout image printed. IMH(I'm not a doctor)O, the lack of scout views is just laziness on the part of the person who printed them. The printing process lets them arrange the images for output. You might take the slides back to the imaging center and insist that they print a set with scout images.
