MRI, short for Magnetic Resonance
Imaging, combines the use of radio frequencies and a powerful magnetic
field to align the hydrogen atoms in your body, which produces an
extremely detailed internal image.
MRI imaging offers much better contrast
among soft tissues than CT scan, making it a critical tool in diagnosing
neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and oncological disorders
and diseases.
In a short
period of time, MRI has become the primary imaging modality for
diagnostic imaging from head to toe, although some patients, such as
those with metal implants and
pacemakers, may not be eligible for this test. |
