Hello & welcome to the forum. To be honest, none of us are drs here, however, what catches my eye is the radiologist was really not sure what he was looking at either. It leads me to believe the artifact is metal from your surgery. I do think you have a good chance that your surgeon can perhaps address this issue. He did the surgery & knows what went on with it.
How long ago was your surgery? Are you having symptoms, is this why another MRI was done? Do you have access to the prior MRI for comparison? That would be helpful for the dr too.
Sorry for the questions, I am just trying to get a feel for your situation.
